“Their drive to make a difference demonstrated through their creative and compassionate efforts to collect donations is a testament to the values we strive to instil through our educational system,” expressed Abeer Al Khalifa, President of pre-University Education at Qatar Foundation.
Highlighting the extensive impact of education in shaping proactive individuals, Al Khalifa emphasised that these students are more than just learners as they are emerging leaders embodying empathy, global citizenship, and a profound sense of social responsibility.
