Officials announcing the Gift initiative at a press conference.
Qatar Charity (QC) has launched an initiative called 'Gift' aimed at supporting Syrian refugees’ children. The initiative is in cooperation with Marsal Qatar Network and Rawaj Advertising Institution along with the participation of some volunteers, students, parents and other figures.
'Gift' initiative will distribute 2000 boxes packaged with gifts for the children of 16 schools, and to deliver them to Syrian refugees’ children who are 5 to 11 years old.
The initiative’s goal is to promote and strengthen the spirit of charitable work among young people, bring joy to the children of refugees, help Qatar's children give their Syrian counterparts an impression of brotherhood and friendship, and encourage ambitious youth initiatives.
Nasser Almogaiseeb, Director of Program Management at QC assured that QC is honoured to launch the initiative for the benefit of Syrian refugees, especially children, and all QC’s efforts are dedicated for achieving this goal.
“QC is proud of this high humane spirit among the Qatari youth. We will always share their aspirations and work to develop their abilities and skills in all aspects of humanitarian work, both in terms of tangible and moral support, to benefit the society investing the abilities and skills of young people. In cooperation with operations management at QC, we will deliver these gifts to Syrian refugees’ children who deserve them,” he added.
Tahani Al Marri, the founder of Gift initiative, has explained the stages through which the initiative has gone and she said, “The initiative has been just an idea since 2014, and because it is a creative one, we decided in 2016 to let it come true. We participated in the Volunteer Youth and Humanitarian Initiatives Award in October 2016. Among 650 Arab initiatives, we were qualified for the 125 initiatives that succeeded in reaching the finals. After that, we luckily were among the top 11 positions in the Arab world and then we submitted the initiative to QC, which honoured us to be the official sponsor of it.”
She also made clear that the initiative will be implemented among three groups: school students, university students, public and private sector institutions, and they will take part in it due to the community responsibility.
Omar Al Jumaili, one of the founders of Marsal Qatar Network, said, "The network has a leading role in supporting creative youth initiatives and it is our honor today to support QC's 'Gift' initiative, which is a part of the network's objectives, integrating charitable work with youth initiatives.”
Saleh Al Nuaimi confirmed that there are many reasons to take part in supporting the initiative, and the most important of which is offering support for charitable work carried out by QC, which adopts and supports all youth ideas in this regard.
