Dreama Centre for Orphan Care has launched the second series of its story collection, continuing its mission to provide humanitarian and educational support.
The event, held on December 12 at the Minaretein Building in Hamad Bin Khalifa University, focused on stories of prophets and companions who overcame significant challenges in their lives. These inspiring narratives are designed to encourage children to build confidence and embrace resilience, offering valuable life lessons to help them navigate their own difficulties.
During the event, Sheikha Najla bint Ahmed Al Thani, Executive Director of Dreama Centre, stated: "At Dreama, we believe in providing meaningful content that enriches the minds of our orphans, instils values of perseverance and determination, and shares deep humanitarian messages. These stories are not just narratives; they are messages of hope and educational tools to help children understand that challenges are a natural part of life, and they too can overcome them, just as the prophets and companions did before them.”
Sheikha Najla also expressed her gratitude to the Social and Sports Activities Support Fund (DAAM) for their generous support of this project, emphasising: "The contribution of DAAM has played a pivotal role in bringing this project to life, creating a tangible impact on the lives of our children. We are proud of this partnership, which serves as a model for collaborative efforts towards a better future.”
The second series features a selection of remarkable stories with powerful messages. Titles include: ‘The Generous Orphan’ by Basma Al-Khatri, ‘Abu Hurairah, the Great Orphan’ by Shamma Shaheen Al-Kuwari, ‘The Story of Moses’ by Maryam Ahmed Al-Kuwari, ‘The Story of Al-Zubair bin Al-Awwam’ by Khadija Al-Kubaisi, and ‘The Story of Yusuf’ by Ali Al-Batiri.
This release builds on the success of the first series launched last year, reaffirming Dreama’s commitment to making a lasting impact in the lives of its children. Through these stories, Dreama aims to provide children with exemplary role models that inspire them to believe in their abilities and aspire to achieve their dreams.
Hassan Youssef Al-Obaidli, Director of the Programs Department at the Social and Sports Activities Support Fund (SDAM), also had a speech at the inauguration ceremony of the story series.
"This project reflects our shared commitment to promoting human values and guiding orphaned children to overcome challenges and believe in their abilities, through the stories of prophets and companions that carry valuable lessons. We at the Social and Sports Activities Support Fund are proud to support this project, which contributes to improving the development of our children’s skills,” he said.
The event was attended by prominent authors, public figures, and media representatives, who expressed their admiration for the project and its noble objectives.
