MANAMA: The seventh forum of the Royal Bahrain Foundation for humanitarian works was launched on Monday under the theme (My Story) with the participation of a group of speakers, specialists, and people with inspiring life experiences from the GCC countries, including Kuwait. The King’s representative for humanitarian work and youth affairs, Sheikh Nasser Bin Hamad, said in a press statement that such annual forums reflect the keenness to contribute to the creation and implementation of the foundation’s programs and to exchange enriching experiences to contribute to the development of humanitarian and social work.

He pointed out that the participation of a large number of people with inspiring life experiences in the competition that preceded the forum confirms the urgent desire and keenness to document the real experiences. He praised these inspiring stories, appreciating the “beautiful” ideas from participants from Kuwait and the UAE.

Deputy chairman of the board of trustees of the Royal Foundation for Humanitarian Works, Adnan Al-Qattan, stressed in a speech during the forum the foundation’s keenness to organize many community activities through which it seeks to involve everyone without exception. He explained that this forum is just one of the community initiatives put forward by the foundation as part of its strategy to open horizons with institutions and communities to be active players in achieving long-term visions.

The secretary general of the foundation, Mustafa Al-Sayed, said that the selection of the (My Story) logo aims to present the stories of those who were unable to highlight their challenges and successes to society and to contribute to the creation of valuable content for beautiful tales. During the forum, a number of inspiring experiences and life stories were reviewed by a number of speakers from inside the Kingdom and the GCC countries. — KUNA
