KUWAIT CITY, April 28: Kuwaiti businesswoman Muntaha Al Ajeel has launched a humanitarian charity in her name. Choosing the National Bank Specialist Pediatrics Hospital as a first venue, she visited the wings for children cancer patients where she helped put a smile on the faces of the patients and shared with them and their mothers happy moments that helped lessen their suffering.

Al Ajeel said in a statement on the occasion: “Muntaha Al Ajeel’s humanitarian charity aims primarily to offer moral and psychological support to cancer patients especially the children who are in urgent need for compassion with a good word and kind touch to relieve their daily and continuous suffering with this malignant disease, which would reflect on their general health condition and support them in their fight against their cancer tumors and lift their morale.”

She added: “My initiative is a continuation of the charitable course of my father the philanthropist Mohammad Al Ajeel which has its echoes in several Arab and Islamic countries.”

Al Ajeel encouraged others to visit the patients and boost their morale. She noticed that some of the patients’ mothers were sad and depressed and in need of psychological and moral support to help them overcome their physical and psychological pain.

She concluded by promising to repeat her visits to the hospital in Ramadan and the holidays.

She also called on other philanthropists to follow her lead by engaging in charitable and humanitarian activities, pointing out that good deeds do not require great effort and reflect positively on both the giver and receiver.
