By Ajayi Sodiq
The Hajj and Mutamer’s Gift Charitable Association, known as Hadiyah has been praised for serving pilgrims throughout the year. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, represented by the ministry’s Public Administration of Social Responsibility and Voluntary Work commended the association’s active participation in the Hajj and Umrah Services Conference and Exhibition, which included all governmental, charitable and private sectors operating in the Hajj and Umrah system. 
The ministry praised the association's active involvement in the Hajj and Umrah Services Conference and Exhibition. The association also had a hand in starting the pilgrims' "mobile air conditioner" program.
In a report gathered by Arab News, Turki Al-Hetershi, Hadiyah’s executive director, said the association’s participation in the conference was reflected in highlighting the services and efforts of the non-profit sector to serve pilgrims and visitors and expanding service points, which covered more than 200 points of contact with pilgrims.
Al-Hetershi said that the association also contributed to launching the “mobile air conditioner” initiative for pilgrims while performing their rituals and signing agreements with 18 government, charitable and private entities for integration and cooperation purposes to upgrade the services provided to pilgrims. The association also played a key role in visually documenting the role of the non-profit sector in the Hajj and Umrah system during the conference.
