A special honoring ceremony will see the chief donors and contributors to the organisation recognised, including government authorities, NGOs, corporations, and the media.
On the sidelines of the 40th anniversary, a public exhibition will be held at Katara Corniche to give a timeline narration of QRCS's history. The expo opens doors to the public today and runs until Friday (March 24).
