Significance of raising kids on healthy environment
CAIRO: Amal Al-Randi, Kuwaiti author, underscored the importance of raising children to concentrate on a healthy environment due to the dangers that threaten Earth’s population that calls for thoughtfulness. This was in a statement to KUNA, on the sidelines of Al-Randi’s participation in the activities of the seventh edition of the Tiba International Festival for Arts and Child Theater.
She indicated her contribution to the festival’s activities by presenting a workshop regarding clean environment in which she addressed her story, “The Big House,” which urges attention to the environment, making use of time and gardening. This event, which took place at Al-Sayeda Nafisa School in Kom Ombo town, Aswan governorate in the far south of Egypt, was attended by dozens of children who interacted with the story and drew paintings that expressed the event’s outcomes, she explained.
At the end of the event, she presented the participants with copies of her story about the Kuwaiti environment. As children are directed to take care of a clean environment, the world awaits the outcomes of the 27th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Sharm El-Sheikh, she mentioned. It is natural for her to demand decisions to solve the crisis of toxic gas emissions, especially carbon, and seriously resolve the issue of global warming, in addition to supporting poor countries to be able to face the climate crisis through environmental sustainability, she pointed out.
As a writer she wrote many stories that show a healthy and pure environment, she indicated, noting that the last story she issued for children a few weeks ago, titled “Basam’s Adventure in Pluto,” deals with the environment of planet Earth. She stressed that she will remain keen in her writings to urge children to be environmental soldiers and to hold many activities under the slogan “Together for a Clean Planet,” expressing her conviction that working with children establishes a bright environmental future.
Her participation in the Kuwaiti cultural event at the Tiba Festival in Aswan from November 4 to 9 this year contributes to the consolidation of international friendly relations by organizing several workshops with artistic competitions for children, she stated. The festival, which is held under the auspices of the Ministries of Culture, Tourism, Antiquities, and Education in Egypt and Aswan governorate, also includes a number of theatrical performances, art exhibitions and performing arts segments, she added. She drew attention to the Kuwaiti attendance at the festival as well as the former Dean of the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts Dr. Hussein Al-Musallam. – AFP
