He was elated for the participation of hundreds of students who came from various schools in Kuwait mostly Palestinians but also students from the rest of other nations.
He said this remarkable participation reflected sincere love to Palestine and its rich history and cultural heritage. “Thank you and I am pleased to welcome you today and share with us this special Palestinian Day through which I extend my thanks and appreciation to the Kuwaiti Journalists Association represented by Adnan Al-Rashed - Vice President of the Kuwait Journalists Association, and to Abd Al-Rahman Al-Alyan, Editor-in-Chief of Kuwait Times, and special thanks to the Gulf University for Science and Technology for its generosity in giving us its stage for this ceremony, and Adnan Saad, the General Coordinator of the “Colors of Palestine Drawing Competition”, which was attended by thousands of students from all over Kuwait,” he said.
He also thanked all the sponsors who without them this competition would not have been possible. “The idea of the “Colors of Palestine” competition came to bring our children, from different age groups who participated in this competition, to fly with their imagination in the beloved atmosphere of Palestine and to visualize its blessed land and to enjoy the beauty of its nature and to be familiar of its loyal and devoted people defending its Christian and Islamic faiths,” Tahboub noted.
