Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Municipality's Public Parks Department, in cooperation with Al Faisal Without Borders Foundation, launched the 11th edition of the "Farm Your Country" program, with the participation of 47 schools at various educational levels, including one school for persons with disabilities.
