AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Monday joined a group of young volunteers at Mafraq Industrial School for Boys participating in the national public school maintenance campaign, which is part of Urdon Al Nakhwa initiative.

A number of students and a group of young volunteers from the “Feena Al Khair” initiative as well as a group from the All of Jordan Youth Commission in Mafraq participated in maintenance work at the school, which was established in 1980.

The Crown Prince praised the efforts of the young volunteers, commending them as a model of volunteerism and good citizenship, the statement said.
