Minister of Agriculture Khaled Al-Hneifat, who
sponsored the launching ceremony, emphasized the necessity to develop the
relationship between the land, and involving school students in
rooftop-farming.
He said such activities support land affiliation,
serve the urban environment, and achieve part of the home’s food
self-sufficiency, noting the ministry’s willingness to support these projects
through training, rehabilitation, and assistance in their development using
modern technologies.
The minister also valued the efforts of those
involved and the children and young people taking part in an initiative that is
beneficial to the nation and society.
Leen Al-Madanat, general director of the Greek
Orthodox Patriarchate Schools, spoke about the importance of the role played by
the government in enhancing direct communication with schools, and their
keenness to continuously meet and provide opportunities for students to express
their thoughts and opinions and listen to their aspirations.
She added that such
communication allows students to participate in the planning of the future and
to promote a sense of responsibility and belonging to the country.
Madanat said the schools’ strategic objective is to
prepare students and raise their awareness of the challenges, especially
environmental ones.
