SFAX, Southern Tunisia, Feb 26 (KUNA) -- Children should be cared for through innovative ideas and activities that would contribute to their cultural and intellectual upgrade in society, said Kuwaiti Writers' League Association member Sunday.
"I read 'Miss Ladybug's Dream' to children and their parents," said Heba Mandani, representative of the Association to Sfax Children's Book Fair.
Mandani also gave out Kuwaiti flags for visitors of the Fair in celebration of Kuwait's national days; February 25-26.
The Fair's 24th edition kicked off last Friday with 13 countries participating: Palestine, Morocco, Qatar, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Senegal and France in addition to Kuwait and host country Tunisia.
To that, a Kuwaiti musical troupe, led by maestro Ahmad Al-Hamdan, held a concert as part of 'Kuwaiti Days' in Sfax; the capital of Arabic culture.
During the concert, singer Hamad Al-Qattan performed a number of well-received Kuwaiti and Tunisian songs despite of cold weather and light showers that overshadowed the open-door theatre.
The 'Kuwaiti Days' will last until February 28 through art galleries, plays, lectures and seminars all performing under the umbrella of the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters. (end) ksj.hb
