Sharjah : The Government of Sharjah pledged Monday AED 10 million in support of the ”Peace for Palestinian Children” campaign.
The government acted upon instructions by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council member and ruler of Sharjah as part of a fund-raising drive championed by Sheikha Jawaher Al Qasimi, wife of the Ruler and Chairperson of the Supreme Family Council, to support the Palestinian children.
A telethon by Sharjah TV has raised AED 63 million and today’s donation brought the total money so far raised to AED 73 million.
The campaign was launched on April 12 and will run until the end of the month.
Sheikh Sultan appealed to firms, companies and individuals (nationals, residents and visitors) to donate money to the charity campaign.
”Donation will contribute to alleviate suffering of Palestinian children,”he said.
