A "Week of Giving" initiative has brought together volunteers across 13 Arab towns in Israel, aiming to foster community engagement and collective responsibility. The events, which began on October 12, are taking place in Majd al-Krum, Haifa, Tamra, Arraba, Tayibe, Qalansawe, Jisr az-Zarqa, Iksal, Umm al-Fahm, Shefa-Amr, Nazareth, Ablin, and Rahat. These activities are being conducted in cooperation with local councils, municipalities, schools, associations, and community centers.
The program, organized by the Adalah Center, kicked off in Majd al-Krum with activities at the Al-Salam Elementary School and the Southern Park. The week's events include artistic and community projects, such as a mural painting in Tamra, and will continue through Saturday, October 17, concluding in Rahat. Adalah has also arranged transportation from the Galilee, Haifa, and the Triangle region to Rahat and Iraqib for the closing event.
The "Week of Giving" was launched in 2019 to transform individual volunteer efforts into organized group actions. The initiative seeks to unite residents, institutions, schools, and youth groups around a shared responsibility for their communities and public spaces. Adalah emphasized that while volunteer work strengthens solidarity and belonging, it does not replace the responsibility of official institutions to provide services and rights.
