Our goal today is to educate them on the importance of their role in the community, especially in achieving Qatar’s National Vision 2030 and the campaign is focusing on students from Secondary and university students,” said Hamad Al Marri, Community Awareness Manager, Nama.
Dr Sohair Wastawi, Executive Director of Qatar National Library said that: “We are delighted to be working closely with the Social Development Center – Nama, to launch this campaign. Our mission is not only to spread reading, knowledge or help in learning and education, but also to contribute in shaping youth awareness.
