Doha: H H Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, awarded the latest batch of winners of the Akhlaquna Award and the Akhlaquna Junior Award with the accolades that their morals and values have earned them at a special ceremony in Education City.
Al Anood Al Kubaisi, Lolwa Al Musafri, and Fatima Al Naimi were crowned the Cycle 4 winners of the Akhlaquna Award for their initiative Grass Banking, which brings together education and agriculture. The project was founded when they were at school and it has worked to identify neglected areas that can be turned into green spaces for future generations to adopt.
The project has helped families in need meet their food requirements, in cooperation with Qatar Charity, and, as Al Naimi says: “The agricultural environment contributed to an increase in the oxygen level in the air, and the recycling of plant residues helped us make compost. We want to create a new brand in the Qatari market for all kinds of fruit and vegetables.”
