Reaping the ‘special’ fruits of success
Manama : Rotary Club of Sulmaniya Green House held a rather special harvest yesterday at Al Jasra yesterday. The crops were planted by children with Down Syndrome.
Around 50 children from the Society for the Blind, Al Rahma Centre and the Bahrain Down Syndrome Society took part in this year’s event held as part of the Rotary Club’s Green House Project.
“One of the main objectives of any Rotary club in the world is to foster and promote the idea of service throughout society,” said Rotary Club of Sulmaniya President Amira Ismael.
Highlighting the role played by the club, since its inception in helping the needy and underprivileged, Ismael said, “The greenhouse project is a part of it.”
“The club is proud to be associated with such a project, which brings together educational and social activities under one roof,” she said adding “this has allowed kids with special needs to experience the importance of planting and harvesting.”
“It is one of many projects that we are doing currently this year,” said Ismael.
