Presentation Transcript

  1. Her Highness • Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs and wife of the ruler of Sharjah. • “Children are especially close to our hearts because they are defenseless, vulnerable and innocent. We often say children are the future, but the future is only possible if we act today. We aim not only to save children’s lives - through healthcare, clean water, nutrition, safety and shelter - but also to transform their lives through education. Every child has a right to dream, and education will empower them to elevate themselves above their hardships and pursue their dreams in a sustainable long-term vision”.
