Al Jisr Foundation hosts reading sessions for kids
MUSCAT: Al Jisr Foundation continues to enrich the Omani community in the month of January. A team from the Foundation toured Muscat Governmental Hospitals such as the Royal Hospital, Khoula Hospital, Al Nahda Hospital and Social Welfare House. Al Jisr Foundation created an atmosphere of joy through its awareness initiative in the corridors of hospitals by distributing Murshid Magazine, the first Omani magazine dedicated to children.
The foundation’s initiative in the magazine promotes important principles in health and education to suit the minds of children in a simple and interactive manner. With some help from Maher, Al Jisr Foundation’s mascot, and volunteers, a team from the foundation distributed a wide range of children’s Murshid magazine and organized enjoyable reading sessions with children.
A representative from Al Nahdha hospital thanked Al Jisr for “having reading sessions with the children (as it) positively impacts their mental states which can result in a faster recovery rate”. Al Jisr staff praised the efforts of all the cooperating public relations representatives in the hospitals that helped to facilitate the visits.
As part of the Foundation’s vision and mission to deliver sustainable community-based projects, the foundation collaborates on a monthly with Murshid Magazine where they publish meaningful and entertaining content relevant to children.
Al Jisr Foundation sponsors the content of a superhero, “Captain Immunity”, who encourages children to eat their fruits and vegetables, “Friends of a Murshid Around the World” which aims to encourages them to learn English and “Train Your Brain with Maher”, which aims to enhance children’s math and innovation skills. Maher is a talented Omani boy. He’s very friendly and optimistic, and never turns down a learning opportunity. He loves charity work and encourages people of all ages to join him. Maher assists Al Jisr Foundation to empower youth by delivering the message of the importance of their health and education through entertaining ways of learning.
