SAVW wraps up engagement at SCRF

The Award’s pavilion at the festival witnessed a range of interactive and awareness-raising activities tailored for children of different age groups. These activities combined awareness, entertainment, and volunteer education in a manner that appealed to youngsters. They included educational publications in various volunteer fields, along with entertaining games, educational competitions, and expressive art focusing on images, cartoons, and stories, all designed interactively to instill the values of volunteerism in children.

5900 printed materials and 700 gifts:
On this occasion, Fatima Musa Al Balushi, Executive Director of the Award, praised the turnout witnessed at the Award's pavilion during the Sharjah Children's Reading Festival, which attracted crowds of children and their parents. She noted that the festival serves as an ideal platform for the Award to regularly participate in, reinforcing its approach to instilling volunteer values in children.

Al Balushi further explained that the Award distributed approximately 5900 printed materials, including stories, magazines, and colouring books, to all visitors of the Award's pavilion, in addition to 700 gifts and entertainment items. Among these was the distribution of sustainability bags as part of an environmental conservation initiative, which allowed children to also draw on them.

The Executive Director of the Award expressed her gratitude to the Sharjah Book Authority for their collaboration in organising this important event aimed at developing and honing our children's skills in various cultural, scientific, and volunteer fields. She emphasised that the Award's participation aligns with its comprehensive annual plan aimed at attracting a broader segment of children, as part of its goal to reinforce volunteer values among children and contribute to enhancing their sense of volunteering from an early age.
