■ Continuing the development of the charitable triads and their contributions to charitable work in various fields and regions.

Minister Al-Rakba expressed his gratitude for the academic excellence of those under the authority in the various stages of education, as it represents success in facing challenges and taking advantage of opportunities with diligence and perseverance, which he hoped would be their weapon in all aspects of life and in the future.

The minister said, “Your success and excellence represent a source of pride and optimism for us, your families, and your dear country Kuwait, which looks forward to continuing, through you and through the arms of its children in all locations, to realize more achievements in various fields.” Meanwhile, the Acting Director General Eng. Hamad Al-Barjas said in his speech during the honoring ceremony, “The authority contributes to qualifying, developing and motivating our sons and daughters under the authority to face the challenges of the future and achieve Kuwait’s future vision.” He explained that the authority provides various packages of services and initiatives aimed at enhancing the excellence of its sons and daughters of all ages, an example of which is supporting many educational and pedagogical activities. It attaches great importance to the awareness programs and psychological and mental rehabilitation for those under its care by organizing recreational, awareness-raising, and religious activities aimed at developing their knowledge, abilities, and skills in modern ways that suit all age groups.

During the last period, it was keen to enhance communication with those under its care through various direct and electronic means of communication in order to closely identify the demands and needs, and work to provide the necessary material and human resources to meet them appropriately and quickly. Al-Barjas assured that the tireless efforts and endeavors would continue in this context to achieve the authority’s lofty mission and its noble goals towards those sponsored who have contributed in the past and will contribute in the near future in continuing the process of progress and advancement of Kuwait. He said, “We will see among you doctors, engineers, teachers, lawyers, researchers, and administrators. Thanks to your excellence and diligence, you will occupy the most important positions, as your predecessors among those under care did throughout the authority’s history, which extends about nine decades of loyalty and giving.”
