Kuwaiti altruists find "motivation" in His Highness Amir's backing

KUWAIT, March 12 (KUNA) -- His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah's unwavering support is an incentive to pile up benevolent deeds, said a number of Kuwaiti philanthropists and hands-on volunteers on Tuesday.
Shortly after their encounter with His Highness the Amir, representatives of Kuwait Forum Charity Organization and the winners of a local humanitarian award expressed their gratitude for His Highness the Amir's backing in separate statements to the press.
"We are deeply honored to have met His Highness the Amir," said the president of Kuwait's Eldercare Society Ibrahim Al-Baghli, thanking His Highness the Amir for his unyielding support.
Mohammad Al-Hajeri, the head of a Kuwaiti rescue team, described His Highness the Amir's support as "motivational," saying it would encourage Kuwaiti philanthropists to further pursue charity work.
Similarly, the director general of Kuwait's Humanitarian Relief Society Khaled Al-Shammeri was equally grateful as well, saying His Highness the Amir's infinite wisdom and sage advice have been instrumental in the growth of charity work in the country.
One of the recipients of the humanitarian award, the International Islamic Charity Organization's Samia Al-Meimni, said the joy she felt as she met His Highness the Amir actually eclipsed the experience of winning the award.
She added that His Highness the Amir is a true "Humanitarian leader," and an "inspiration to all Kuwaitis." "Kuwait will always be known as a bastion of humanity and peace," the president of Kuwait Center for Documentation of Humanitarian Action Dr. Khaled Al-Shatti emphasized.
He went on to say that the Gulf state will remain a "humanitarian center" given its people's penchant for philanthropy. (Pick up previous) nam
