Mariam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad, Executive Director Orphans Care Center (Dreama), being honoured during the international forum for social humanitarian ambassadors at headquarters of the Arab Planning Institute in Kuwait.
The Orphan Care Center, ‘Dreama’, under the umbrella of the Qatar Social Work, participated in international forum for social humanitarian ambassadors for the year 2019 which was held at the headquarters of the Arab Planning Institute in Kuwait for three days and with Arab and international participation.
The international forum for social humanitarian ambassadors honoured Dreama Center for its achievements during the last three years.
The invitation was to honour Dreama Center for its efforts over the past years and also to review the Qatari experience in the care and empowerment of orphans and community responsibilities; and transferring its details to the State of Kuwait and other countries.
Center of Dreama is known to be working on a new strategy aimed at expanding international and regional partnerships; to exchange experiences and create a global front that addresses all the challenges facing the child and the family.
According to the latest UN statistics, the number of orphans in the world has reached 140 million children, and estimates by other international institutions suggest that the number may worsen under the current global condition of the world, especially in the Middle East due to violent incidents and armed conflicts in the Arab world and the Islamic world.
This has led Dreama Center to the immediate involvement in global development action to address the growing international risks and filling the humanitarian gaps that threaten the stability of all the nations of the region, and this is in keeping with the internationally-agreed goals and principles of the United Nations and the internationally-agreed humanitarian and development conventions.
The trust in Mariam bint Nasser bin Ali Al Misnad — Executive Director, Orphans Care Center (Dreama) — was renewed as an international ambassador for orphans. She was given the title depending on the achievements and developments that were observed in the last three years.
The forum discussed the Qatari experience led by Dreama Center for Orphan Care and Empowerment in terms of the strategy followed in developing children’s abilities and treating psychological and behavioural effects on the group of people of unknown descents, after the parents or one of them abandoned the child.
In addition to the human values that the Dreama Center tries to spread and raise awareness of the need to embrace them, including the principle of the unity of human origin, anti-classism and racial discrimination, and achieving principles of social justice.
Mariam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad said: “We are not here today to list the achievements of the center, but I am here to deliver the message and the voice of children, asking: What if we can change the life of one person? If we moved him from nothingness to live in dignity, isn’t this a real success?”
Al Misnad continued: “Let’s be truly ambassadors by delivering their voice and their needs, otherwise we do not deserve to be so and we do not deserve labels, titles and honours.”
