The AUK Cooperation Club Organizes Umrah Trip

The Cooperation club at the American University of Kuwait started its activities this semester with a trip to Mecca Al-Mukarramah, supported and sponsored by Ar-Rawafid Estate Company. The students were accompanied by AUK Associate Professor of Management, Dr. Aly Mansour, and AUK Safety and Security Coordinator, Mr. Nawaf Al-Banai. In the orientation preceding the trip, Dr. Mansour spoke to the students about the need for such spiritual trips that would charge them with internal energy. He also praised the Cooperation Club for its active role in conducting activities within the moral and noble values of Islam

Amongst the activities conducted during the Umrah trip were the distribution of meals to the needy, spiritual lessons promoting devotion and the need to invest time and energy in worthy causes, as well as a competition to learn Surat "Luqman" (the 31st chapter of the Holy Qur'an). The Umrah trip participants enjoyed the trip and commended its management and success. This trip is considered the beginning of a series of activities that the Cooperation Club is planning to organize in the future, in line with the Club's mission to define Islam in terms of creed, acts of worship, conduct, and morals.

The Cooperation Club is an independent, missionary student organization that aims to raise awareness of Islamic principles, morals, acts of worship and values among the students of the American University of Kuwait through creative projects and programs, as well as, cultural and social activities.
