Overview
A dynamic program designed for children aged 6 to 15. This initiative aims to ignite the passion for reading and establish lasting reading habits.
Why Arabic?
As the official language of the Kingdom of Bahrain, plays a pivotal role in shaping our national and cultural identity. Embracing Arabic not only strengthens our connection to our rich heritage but also fosters a profound sense of belonging among the younger generation. Promoting its use aligns with our commitment to preserving cultural traditions and enhancing community cohesion.
