Bahrain : The Indian Community Relief Fund (“ICRF”) has started its annual summer special program of ICRF Thirst-Quenchers 2021 – distributing bottled water and fruits to the workers. The basic purpose of such activity is to teach workers the importance of drinking water and encourage them on how to be healthy during the summer. This is the 6th consecutive year of ICRF Thirst Quenchers distribution of water and fruits. Similar to previous year the event will be supported by Bohra community in Bahrain.
ICRF Thirst-Quenchers intends to continue this weekly event for the next 8 to 10 weeks in various worksites as they are one of the most affected toiling under the summer heat. The first of the series is held today at FGR worksite in Manama, supporting around 200 workers.
Additionally, ICRF volunteers have distributed flyers that explain the measures that can be followed to stay safe during COVID-19 as well as flyers on mental well being.
