Qatar Charity launches cultural and awareness-raising events

QATAR Charity (QC) has announced the launch of a number of cultural and awarenessraising events and activities for families and children. This coincides with the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic calendar, and is part of Qatar Charity’s Eid Al-Adha campaign, ‘Delight them with your sacrifice, Let the hope continue’.

The Qatar Charity Centers for Community Development will host these events remotely via Microsoft Teams, and will include the ‘Hajj Rituals Box,’ lectures, and grandma stories, among other activities.

“These events, which coincide with the blessed days of Dhu al-Hijjah, aim to promote values, draw attention to the importance of the rituals of Hajj, connect families and children in an interactive way, which enhances society’s creative capabilities that can contribute to voluntary work and participate in supporting Qatar Charity projects,” said the director of the Programs and Community Development department at Qatar Charity Fatima Jumah AlMohannad.

The ‘Hajj Rituals Box’ is a family-friendly cultural project. It is about providing a box designed in such a way that it attracts beneficiaries from family members so that children and their parents can virtually learn to perform Hajj rituals by installing Hajj models.

Contributions to this project can be made by marketing 200 boxes for the education of low-income children.

In addition, four lectures will be given to promote cultural and religious values on the significance of these ten days and sacrifice, as well as the joy of Eid.

In addition, an activity will be held to allow artists to participate with their Hajj drawings, which will be donated to Qatar Charity to support its charitable projects.

During the days of Eid Al Adha, three stories told by a grandmother on Al Rayan TV are also included in the Eid Al Adha events. The stories conclude with a puzzle that people compete to solve by posting on the Al Rayyan TV or Qatar Charity Instagram accounts. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
