Applications for the second round of Qatar Foundation (QF)’s Akhlaquna Junior Award have closed, and winners will be announced in October 2021.
A large number of schools in Qatar have sent in applications of students.
Akhlaquna, Arabic for “our ethics”, is the basis of the Akhlaquna Junior Award.
It was launched to promote the objectives and comprehensive principles of the Akhlaquna Award and was designed to promote and instill positive values and morals among school students aged 7-14 years, with the aim of cultivating a generation for whom good moral character and strong ethics are a source of pride, and a way of life.
In the inaugural year of the Akhlaquna Junior Award, Fahad Masoud Nabina of Qatar Academy Al Wakra – a school under the QF’s Pre-University Education umbrella – was chosen by his school to participate in this competition.
Nabina’s participation saw him winning the award.
He invented a device to communicate with his grandfather, who suffers from difficulty communicating with others.
Nabina used the skills he learned at a programming course to develop his project.
“I wanted my grandfather to be able to communicate with us again after he lost his ability to speak and move his hands,” he explaned. “So, I underwent a programming course that enabled me to create a painting containing alphabet and a screen, where my grandfather can now choose the letters by blinking his eyes to construct a sentence and express what he wants.”
Hanadi Haider, Nabina’s mother, is proud of her son, and for the inspiration he has become by winning the valuable award, and in encouraging students to display positive values.
