Iraqi Institute Holds Special Quranic Event for Children
The Women’s Holy Qur’an Institute in Najaf, affiliated with the Astan (custodianship) of Hazrat Abbas (As) holy shrine, held this event as part of spring programs, according to Qafqn.org.
Manar Al-Jubouri, an official with the institute, said the program is titled "light and happiness" and aims to change the conventional spring holidays and use these days as an opportunity to grow the talents of children in the Quranic fields.
The event also seeks to introduce the Holy Quran to children through organizing various competitions in a fun and interactive atmosphere, she said.
Some 200 girls from inside and outside of the institute participated in this program, she said, adding that painting, Quranic questions, and brain games were parts of this program.
Educational animations that promote moral values were also displayed in the event.
At the end of the program, she maintained, children were presented with viola pots to encourage them on how to take care of plants.
