Doha, Qatar: Minister of Culture H E Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Thani yesterday honoured winners of the fourth Qatar Volunteer Shield Award 2025, during a ceremony held at the ministry's headquarters for the volunteers who made exceptional efforts in organising major cultural and national events.

Addressing the ceremony, the Minister of Culture affirmed that good deeds and volunteering are not merely random acts, but rather a sublime mission that epitomises the spirit of patriotism, underscoring the precepts of goodness that continue to beat in the hearts of the people of Qatar.

He hailed the volunteers as the helping hands that always pitch in where needed, and generous hearts that know nothing but giving.

This honouring is a credible recognition of the fact that they are role models for generations to come, a beacon that illuminates the path for young people to learn that serving the homeland is an honour and that dedication to people represents the most sublime actions, he underlined.
