GCC forum for blind to begin today
Wife of His Majesty the King and Supreme Council for Women (SCW) Chairwoman HRH Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa will patronise today the second Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Friendship Forum for the Blind, organised by the Bahrain Friendship of the Blind Society.
The forum will be a platform to exchange expertise and experiences regarding issues of the blind in the GCC countries, to enrich information and knowledge and impart confidence and self-reliance among the blind to boost their negotiating capacity and leadership traits.
The forum highlights the importance of preparing visually-impaired students and teachers to integrate them into mainstream education, and enable them to choose suitable university disciplines in addition to benefiting from equal job opportunities.
It will also highlight the role of visually-impaired women in social life and supporting them to perform their noble mission and inform the community about the interests of blind women in sports.
Participants from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain will attend the forum.
