The Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF) has launched its summer programme for its sponsored families.
This year’s RHF’s summer programe is in accordance with the precautionary measures to combat the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), and strikes a balance between the educational and training requirements on the one hand, and the necessary infrastructure, on the other.
The beneficiary mothers and children have been trained on using the relevant social networks so that they benefit from the remote programme.
RHF’s Secretary-General, Dr. Mustafa Al-Sayed, said that the annual summer programme is within the social care provided by the RHF for its affiliate families, adding that the RHF has continued delivering all its services since the spread of the pandemic amid strict precautionary measures to ensure the safety of everyone.
He highlighted the RHF’s belief in the importance of providing the necessary conditions for the members of its sponsored families to acquire the necessary skills and develop themselves, noting that this year’s two-month programme features varied sessions, workshops and activities that cater to the needs of children, youth and mothers.
Director of Charity Resources Development and Coordinator-General of Government and Official Affairs, Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, said that the idea of the summer programme is based on a competition aimed at cementing cohesion among the members of the same family through commitment, creativity and interaction during the programme, wishing everyone success in winning the grand prize.
He highlighted the RHF’s keenness to enrich this year’s summer programme with many practical, health, and recreational courses and cultural competitions to support, develop, and build orphans’ personalities through practical training on the values of innovation, under the supervision of specialists in various fields.
He added that this year’s summer programme is of special importance because of the commitment of children and mothers to staying in their homes because of COVID-19 pandemic, so this programme aims to encourage them to stay at home, invest their time in a useful and beneficial way, and help them share their talent and abilities and provide a proper opportunity for them to organise ways and means of investing time to promote talent, creativity, and innovation,
Head of Programmes and Activities Department at the RHF, Alaa Bodlamah, affirmed the Foundation’s keenness to implement creative and developmental programmes to enhance the talent and skills of children, satisfy their love for learning, support their skills and creative abilities, and explore their talent according to a fun-based approach, within the framework of the RHF’s active participation in developing the culture of children and young Bahrainis in all physical, intellectual, artistic and scientific aspects, and to achieve active interaction and integration with society.
