NYIT-Bahrain Celebrates Opening of New Hospital for the Elderly

Amid singing and dancing, NYIT students and alumni volunteered their time to mark today’s opening of a new hospital building for the elderly in Muharraq, Bahrain.

The volunteers helped distribute food and water to the elderly, who were excited about the visit, according to NYIT-Bahrain Associate Director of Alumni and Employer Relations Amal al-Dallal. “It’s not everday that the elderly get visits like this,” she explained.
