Raah-e- Aseman Honors Volunteer Leatherwork & Wood Art Trainers Empowering Cancer Patients

Raah-e- Aseman Honors Volunteer Craft Trainers Empowering Cancer Patients

Semnan’s Raah-e- Aseman Charity celebrates volunteers Samim Mofidi & Seyed Mohammad Miremad for teaching crafts to cancer patients.


Empowering Cancer Patients Through Vocational Training
Raah-e- Aseman Charitable Foundation in Semnan, Iran, honored two dedicated volunteer trainers for teaching leatherwork and wood art workshops to cancer patients. These programs empower patients with creativity, vocational skills, and self-confidence—helping them transform challenges into hope and income.

100-Hour Volunteer Training Programs
During its latest board meeting, the foundation celebrated:
• Samim Mofidi: Taught 16 individuals the art of decorative wood (patine). Trainees earned over 40 million Tomans (≈£700) by selling their creations at the June 2024 Food Festival.
• Seyed Mohammad Miramad: Led handmade leathercraft classes, enabling students to produce bags, wallets, and keychains. His workshops restored participants’ self-confidence through vocational rehabilitation

Impact on Beneficiaries
• Trainees received certificates and public recognition for completing their courses.
• Foundation board members purchased all handmade products displayed at the ceremony and donated them back to support ongoing programs.
• Ms. Mofidi also gifted a handcrafted wooden artwork to the foundation in her late father’s memory.
