DOHA: To mark the International Day for Charity special events dedicated to Syrian children under the slogan ‘Bringing Back Their Joy’ are set to be held on Thursday.
Qatar Red Crescent and The Ritz-Carlton Doha will host the events at The Ritz-Carlton Tent.
Events will include recreational activities, competitions and gifts for children as well as distributing school bags.
Secretary-General of the Red Crescent, Saleh Al Muhanadi explained that the aim of the event was to encourage charitable work through restoring smiles on faces of the Syrian children and to highlight the suffering of children from horrors of war and the mobilisation of support and sympathy for those who are still suffering inside Syria and in neighbouring countries.
“With the escalation of the Syrian crisis that cast a shadow of grief on the Syrian children, we aim at drawing the attention to the growing humanitarian needs and rally the community to support the children hoping to bring back their joy. We are hoping that this event would be a catalyst for companies, state institutions and community members to donate to QRC’s project that are implemented inside and outside Syria to provide Syrians with all what they need in terms of equipping hospitals, treating the wounded and provide shelter, food and basic necessities of life,” he said.
He expressed appreciation for the efforts of QRC’s official hospitality partner, The Ritz-Carlton Doha.
Cluster General Manager of The Ritz -Carlton Doha Hoss Vetry emphasised the responsibility of all organisations and communities by reaching out to its official charity partner Qatar Red Crescent and proactively offering to organise a special event in the light of children suffering from tragic environments such as the current situation in Syria.
