In addition, children had the chance to explore traditional henna painting (Gasaa) and learn about other cultures observed during Ramadan through the Fawazeer activity. An interactive cooking station was also facilitated by the Qatari Women’s Association, providing an opportunity for children to learn about traditional Qatari cuisine and healthy eating habits.
