Manama, Nov. 16 (BNA): The National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) presented more than 150 trees and shrubs to the “Together Center for Special Education” in a ceremony held today, Wednesday.
The meeting was attended by Sheikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa, Secretary-General of the Club, and volunteers who strengthened the national partnership with various groups of society, especially people of determination.
During the event, with the participation of 21 students of determination, trees were planted in the vicinity of the center.
The aim was to instill environmental values in the children of the center, to foster a passion for agriculture and trees among them, and to develop a sense of responsibility by taking care of them.
Sheikha Maram expressed her great pride in the responsible awareness of those in charge of the “Ma’an Center for Special Education” by holding the event, which had a good humanitarian impact.
She praised their tireless work to involve children of determination as active partners in building the nation and shouldering the responsibility to complete the nation-building process.
And she stressed the keenness of the national initiative to continue to establish such partnerships that reflect the concepts of “green forever”, the national campaign for afforestation in its broadest sense, as a national environmental and cultural campaign that seeks to achieve common humanitarian goals.
“These seedlings will become a good seed to be planted in the home of every child in the center, which in turn will enhance environmental awareness and develop agricultural culture in it,” she said.
This generates in them the idea of integration, acceptance, feelings of sincere affection, and belonging to this good land through this planting.”
The Director General of the Center, Osama Ahmed Madbouly, expressed his happiness at Nyad’s initiative to include children of determination in the “Forever Green” campaign and the cooperation with the Ma’an Center for Special Education.
