Hood College's Saudi Student Association chose this day to share love with those who need it the most – the elderly living in nursing homes. Hood student participants included Ahmed Alghamdi, Reem Alenezi, Ibrahim Alomani, Lojain Qumayri, Hesham Alkhanbashi, Asma Alshami, and Abdulrhman Alqahtani.
The students had a great time bringing happiness and love to the elderly in residence at the nursing home. The students’ mission of spreading love was evident as they visited residents in their rooms and gave out 50 roses and 60 chocolate boxes to help brighten their Valentine’s Day.
The Saudi Student Association formed in November 2018 and is supported by the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission. The association currently includes 10 members comprised of undergraduate and graduate students. The Saudi students are planning several upcoming exciting activities for the Hood College community.
