Some 43 students, including five with special needs, joined an online course for memorisation of the Holy Qur'an that is offered within the programmes of ‘Noon’, a distance-teaching, training and empowering platform launched by Qatar Charity (QC) recently.

Qualified instructors teach students the Holy Qur'an and the phonetic rules of Qur'anic recitation remotely through Microsoft Teams in view of the closure of the Holy Qur’an memorisation centres due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The course offers individual and group classes, with eight classes per month, allowing direct interaction with the teachers. It is delivered from Saturday to Thursday in two shifts - from 9am to 12noon and from 4pm to 7pm.

Besides, the ‘Noon’ platform has offered remote training workshops to teach girls handicrafts, aiming to develop the crafting skills of the participants in their spare time during the summer vacation.

Maryam al-Abdullah, director of the women’s branch of Qatar Charity Centre for Community Development in Al Rayyan, said the participants could add their own creative touches to their works during the training workshops.

Female supervisors of the training workshops follow up the artistic works and activities of the girls through social media, providing them with the necessary instructions and recommendations.
