Manal Al-Mannai: The celebration crowns the contribution of the elderly to development
Mrs. Manal Al-Mannai, Executive Director of the Ehsan Center, stressed that the elderly category occupies a distinguished place on the list of priorities and concerns of the wise leadership, as this was clearly demonstrated in the enactment of legislation and laws that preserve their material, moral and social rights. These legislations also help them overcome the challenges of their age stage, noting that this comes in appreciation from the state for their role and efforts that contributed to achieving comprehensive development in Qatar, while praising at the same time the great respect that our fathers and mothers enjoy from all segments of Qatari society, which is considered an essential and authentic part of the culture of Qatari society, which descends from Islamic and Arab values that urge righteousness towards parents and care for the elderly.
