Video of expatriate helping elderly woman goes viral in Oman

Muscat: A video showing an expatriate worker helping an elderly woman has gone viral in Oman.
With more than 11,000 views on YouTube in the less than a month, the video has become popular on social media.
The two-minute video directed by the volunteer group ‘fahaddath’, features Ameena Abdul Rasul, one the most iconic actresses in the Sultanate.
The video shows an elderly Omani woman who is unable to walk, complaining to an expatriate worker about her disability. The worker then helps her out by bringing a wheelchair to assist her and takes her for a stroll in a garden.

The ‘fahaddath’ initiative aims to provide help to the needy and people who have been ignored by the mainstream media, according to Shaker Al Raisi, a member of the group. The voluntary group was created on July 1, 2015 and has only five members.
However, after an intensive social media campaign, more than 100 people of different nationalities and cultures joined the group within two weeks of its launch.
The word “fahaddath” means “to express” and is taken from a verse in the Holy Quran.
