At the Children and Mothers Welfare Society, children affiliated with the center joined Shaikha Maram and members of the center’s administration during the ceremony as 115 trees and 40 plants at their premises.

Shaikha Maram highlighted the objectives of the Forever Green campaign that stemmed from the vision of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa to boost and enhance the agricultural sector, expand the green areas in the Kingdom and contribute to the completion of municipal projects in greening streets, public walkways and waterfronts.
