Winners Announced in Quran Contest for Children with Disabilities
Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz, who is president of the Disabled Children’s Association, congratulated the winners, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
Prince Sultan explained that the competition had enjoyed a distinguished presence at a local and international level over 25 years, with about 2,600 children taking part.
The competition’s next phase would see great development in light of the achievements made in previous years, he added.
Prince Sultan expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the competition’s organizers, hoping that the celebration next year would have in-person attendance once the coronavirus had been eliminated.
The secretary-general of the competition, Abdul Aziz bin Abdulrahman Al-Subaihin, said that this year’s contest received 110 applications to participate. Of these, 86 applicants from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain were found eligible.
There were 34 winners this year, 19 of whom were boys.
“All the winners have been honored by the association’s centers across the Kingdom’s regions and governorates,” he added.
