Sharjah 24: Under the directives of Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah and Chairperson of The Big Heart Foundation (TBHF), TBHF and the Sharjah Charity International (SCI) in collaboration with the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority (SBA) have announced joining UAE’s ‘Bridges of Goodness’ national initiative that was launched to offer relief to earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, unveiling a joint telethon with the SCI and SBA.
In a tweet, Sheikha Jawaher Al Qasimi stressed: “The disaster that hit people of Syria and Turkey is intense and they need a humanitarian stand and an honest reaction, while the world is offering urgent and emergency relief, we call on you to stand by them and think about their future.”

In a second tweet, Sheikha Jawaher urged individuals, entities, and civil society organisations from around the world to take part in the campaign: “We call on philanthropists in our community and beyond to join us and donate to the fundraiser campaign, which will be broadcasted on all Sharjah Broadcasting Authority’s TV channels and platforms this Friday, to support people of Syria and Turkey and contribute to securing their future.”

The campaign organisers called on donors to support the brothers and sisters affected by the devastation wrought by the earthquake through the special live fundraiser on SBA channels and social media platforms on Friday, February 17, at 2:00pm.
