Not only do adults serve the pilgrims of Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him), but also the youth; they do acquire the sense of serving pilgrims from their fathers who have been doing it for years.
Mohammed Ali, 10-year-old boy, is one of thousands who - for their love to Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him) - offer pilgrims free services during the Arba'een pilgrimage. Mohammed Ali has established a group of boys to serve pilgrims every year. His family has been very supportive of him; they even funded his initiative.
They offer pilgrims foods, water, tea, and things pilgrims may need while walking to the holy city of Kerbela, which is approximately 700 kilometers away from the very south of Iraq.
Abbas Khalaf, pilgrim, said that he saw some groups of boys on the way to Kerbela serving pilgrims with everything they could get. He added that some pilgrims even donated some money to those boys in order to encourage them to continue this generous service every year.
