KUWAIT: The General Secretariat of Awqaf has named two volumes for winning braille stories for blind children in the Kuwait International Children’s Stories Competition for the third and fourth seasons in cooperation with the Kuwait Blind Association. Deputy Secretary-General for Administration and Support Services at the Awqaf Secretariat Amal Al-Dalal said on Sunday that the two volumes were issued for the project ‘Qutoof Al-Khair Series’, which targets children in the Arab and Islamic world.

Al-Dalal stated that these stories dealt with various topics in the field of endowment and charitable and voluntary works to constitute an important addition to the libraries of the blind in Kuwait and abroad. “It raises awareness of the concept of charitable endowment and its role in solidarity and community development,” she said.

Al-Dalal added that the Qutoof Al-Khair Series project provides printed and animated cartoon stories, electronic educational stories, and purposeful educational games through the use of applications, multimedia, and interactive games according to approved educational standards.
