Second Iftar reception in Ajloun
Earlier today Her Majesty travelled to Ajloun Governorate, where she hosted an Iftar reception for a group of women active in civil society, education, and volunteer work. The event was held at the Royal Academy for Nature Conservation Restaurant.
Her Majesty gave a short speech where she commended the ladies on the start of Ramadan. She then commended them on the work they do in homes as well as in the community.
Her Majesty was accompanied by Ajloun's Governor Ali Majali, and Ajloun Forest Reserve Manager Othman Al Tawalbeh, during her first stop by the Soap House at the academy to take a look at its signature Orjan Soap. The soap is handmade by local women from natural ingredients and oils.
She then went to the Biscuit House, which is owned and managed by local women and produces handmade sweets and biscuits from local ingredients and traditional Jordanian recipes.
The house employs a community engagement model that empowers its employees to become entrepreneurs. This model aims to build the capacity of communities in Ajloun, and provide them with expertise to manage and sustain their own small businesses.
Her Majesty lastly visited the House of Calligraphy, where she learned about the six most famous types of Arabic calligraphy. The house offers visitors a chance to practice drawing their names in a calligraphy style of their choice and promotes dialogue between the local community and people of other cultures, in an effort to support the income-generating activities of local women.
The Royal Academy for Nature Conservation was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II in 2015 after His Majesty King Abdullah II laid its foundation stone at the Ajloun Forest Reserve in 2010. Considered the first in the region to offer specialized training on nature conservation, the academy was established to help expand the regional training programs offered by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN).
