Speaking to the media, Dr. Rajeev Thomas, Founder and Managing Director of HOPE Qatar Centre said that the annual science exhibition was one of the many events that the centre conducts each year to showcase the talents of the differently abled children at the centre and to ensure that they are given a near school environment where they can push their limits to achieve their very best.
He said that the presence of all the special guests will serve as a great source of encouragement for the students who always continue to surprise everyone who consider that children with disabilities can not do certain things in their lives. He further emphasised that it is the society's collective responsibility to give opportunities for the differently abled children to thrive and achieve their best potential.
