JEDDAH — The chairwoman of the Saudi Association for Parents of People with Disabilities honored families of disabled children at the Resalat Amal (A Message of Hope) center for their hard work and willingness to tackle their various challenges head on.



Princess Latifa Bint Thinian Bin Muhammad praised the families of Raghad Al-Zahrani, Lian Al-Ewaidhi, Salem Jaber and Abdul Aziz Khalifa.



Resalat Amal holds the annual ceremony to raise families’ awareness on the needs of their disabled children such as love, security and attention.



Princess Latifa also honored outstanding Saudi teachers who look after disabled children.



One of the teachers said: “This honor is an added incentive to do more for disabled children, who are an integral part of our society.”



The center’s Director General Mohammed Abul Hamd Qassim delivered a welcome speech where he expressed his appreciation to Princess Latifa for her continuous support for Saudi cadres working in this field, which he said needed more backing to ensure disabled children are provided with quality services.



Qassim also said this annual honoring ceremony should be expanded throughout the Makkah province.



He said: “Saudi cadres who have taken on the burden of working with children with disabilities excel in the sector and the least we can do for them is honor them.”
