all profits made from the events go directly to The Proteges program to support youth mentorship and developmen­t. “Top Of is a fun market outing that includes different activities for families, children and teens. It also acts as a fundraiser for The ProtÈgÈs program that is designed to positively influence Kuwait’s youth,” said Basma AlAbduljal­eel, Manager of the ‘Top Of’ project.

Abduljalee­l noted 40 companies and organizati­ons are participat­ing in the ‘Top Of’ market at the Arraya parking lot’s rooftop. “This is our third Top Of market, and we will hold another one on January 16 in the same location. We are trying to encourage small businesses to persevere by giving them booths at the Top Of market, and we have booths for food, art and accessorie­s. I invite all people to support our project and have fun and enjoy the moment. We have many activities for all ages,” she added.

The event was held from 10 am to 8 pm, with bikers, Mini Cooper show, a live blues music performanc­e and photo booth. The Proteges program is part of a social enterprise that is designed to positively influence the youth of Kuwait through an inclusive program that combines travel, lectures, group activities, challenges, games and fun. Guided by a team of mentors, The ProtÈgÈs are encouraged to discover their passions and are given the necessary tools to assist them to excel in their future careers and contribute positively to society.
