Jordan News Agency (Petra)- The Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development (JOHUD) on Wednesday announced the winners in the Queen Alia Social Responsibility Competition 2021, a flagship initiative of the fund launched in October last year.
Under the theme "Psychological Effects on Students, Their Families, Society and Psychological Support in the Corona Pandemic", the competition sought to encourage community members to contribute to reducing the psychological impact of the pandemic and enhance the confidence of children and their families to help them adapt better to the circumstances.
The competition was accompanied by a social media campaign that included educational messages and various activities on the official pages of the competition, with which about one million people interacted. The competition's videos were viewed nearly 400,000 times.
The number of competition prizes amounted to 620, with a total value of about JD33,900, at JD50 to JD1,000 for each prize. The awards were funded by donations from philanthropists and foundations.
The proceeds of the competition will go to the "Al-Rajaa School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children" in Al-Rusaifa District in Zarqa Governorate, and for students with disabilities in government schools.
