It was attended by RHF secretary general Dr Mustafa Al Sayed, NIAD secretary general Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa and RHF assistant secretary general for planning and development of charitable materials Youssef Al Yaqoub.
The campaign is being implemented under the directives of His Majesty King Hamad and the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the wife of the King and NIAD Consultative Council president.
