The children from Al-Quds who participated in the 14th iteration of the summer camps run by the Bayt Mal Al-Qods Asharif Agency were met on Saturday at the Palais des Hôtes in Rabat by Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Hasnaa on the directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.

This Bayt Mal Al-Quds initiative is under the High Patronage of HM King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, and it is a reflection of the King’s unwavering support for the Holy City and its citizens.

It enhances the efforts of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency, which is devoted to assisting the Holy City of Al-Quds and its citizens via numerous programs that have a great influence on the populace of the Holy City, especially women, children, and those in challenging situations.

Since its inception in 2008, the summer camp program of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency has seen a total of 700 children from various districts of the Holy City, accompanied by 70 supervisors, visit various regions of the Kingdom and experience firsthand the strength of Moroccans’ solidarity with the Palestinians. The program is now in its 14th year.

The “Green March” this year, which took place from August 10 to August 26, benefited, as in previous years, kids (boys and girls) from the city of Al-Quds who were between the ages of 11 and 14. They were also joined by guardians from the Holy City.

Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Hasnaa took part in this event by posing for a portrait with the Maqdessis campers and their counselors.

Before going on to the wings showcasing Mediterranean and tropical species, HRH Princess Lalla Hasnaa learned about numerous critically endangered species while touring the aquariums in the lagoon, one of the museum’s largest aquariums.

Before visiting the “Monaco and the Ocean” area, where HRH learned about the environmental protection and preservation actions taken since Prince Albert I’s exploration and study of the oceans, through to the missions carried out within the framework of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Chief Aquarist of the Museum presented to Her Royal Highness to the various missions of this area (hospital, nursery, coral farm, and species transfers) in the Museum’s reserves.

The visit of Her Royal Highness concluded with a stop at Oceanomania, the largest collection of marine artifacts in existence, and an immersion at both poles.

Prince Albert I erected the Oceanographic Museum into the side of Monaco’s legendary cliff. The Museum shows approximately 6,000 specimens with its renowned knowledge.
