DOHA: As it turns 40, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) is holding a grand celebration today at Katara Cultural Village, with a VIP attendance of government officials, social figures, business leaders, senior volunteers, and representatives of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Established on March 20 1978, QRCS boasts a track record of achievements, lessons learnt, and milestones. These successes have shaped the arena of charitable and social work in Qatar, as well as enriched the country’s bright image as a major humanitarian player around the world.
The event will be attended by Dr. Mohamed bin Ghanem Al Ali Al Maadheed, President; Ali bin Hassan Al Hammadi, Secretary-General; board members, directors of divisions, managers of medical facilities, staff, and volunteers. A special honoring ceremony will see the chief donors and contributors to the organisation recognised, including government authorities, NGOs, corporations, and the media.
On the sidelines of the 40th anniversary, a public exhibition will be held at Katara Corniche to give a timeline narration of QRCS’s history. The expo opens doors to the public today and runs until Friday (March 24).
