QUR'ANIC Botanic Garden (QBG) marked Qatar Environment Day 2017 by planting Sidra and Ghaf trees in Education City recently.
Held as part of its year-round 'Ghars' campaign, a number of senior Qatar Foundation (QF) officials, along with dozens of QF and independent school students, participated.
President of Community Development at QF Machaille al Naimi and QBG's Project Manager Fatma Saleh al Khulaifi took part in the tree planting event. They were joined by Dr Abdul Ghafour al Heeti, director, Qatar Music Academy; and Buthaina al Nuaimi, president of Pre-University Education at QF.
Commenting on the event, Machaille al Naimi said:"The Qur'anic Botanic Garden's 'Ghars' campaign is a wonderful initiative, it serves as a platform to demonstrate the centre's dedication to promoting sustainable development, and to highlighting the importance of environmental responsibility, especially among young people. Indeed, today, we saw nearly 50 children plant trees in Education City."
Students of different ages from Qatar Academy Doha, Qatar Academy Wakra, Qatar Academy Sidra, Qatar Academy Msheireb, Awsaj Academy and Qatar Leadership Academy took part in the initiative, while students from Hassan Bin Thabit Secondary Independent School for Boys, Ali Bin Jassim Bin Mohammed Al Thani Secondary Independent School for Boys, Ibn Khaldoun Preparatory Independent School for Boys and the Nomas Center also participated.
