The campaign will target the kindergarten and primary schools' pupils on a weekly basis. A team from the employees of the Public Relations and Communication Department at the Ministry will cooperate to distribute gifts on a number of schools this week. The campaign aims at endearing school life and learning to children and vitalizes them, driving them to be active participants in the learning process throughout the school day.

Omar al-Yafei, director of the department, stressed that the Ministry is keen to launch this initiative annually. However, it used to be held at the shopping centers previously but this year due to the applicable preventive precautionary measures against the new coronavirus (Covid-19), the Ministry limited the event to distributing gifts on the pupils at schools and kindergartens.

He pointed out that these gifts amount to 12,000 various gifts that include school bags, lunch boxes, water bottles, alarm clocks, hats, pen bags,  and T-shirts. "Your Heath First '' contributes 3,000 pen bags, 3,000 water bottles, 3,000 bags, and 3,000 handbags.
