DHAHRAN: The Saudi Cancer Foundation in the Eastern Province hosted “Ramadan Unites Us,” an evening of Saudi food, live entertainment and games on Friday night.
Held at the Al-Muhaidib Down Syndrome Center, known as “Hiba,” the gathering was full of jubilation and plenty of prizes for children, including one for best traditional attire.
With booths dedicated to various parts of the vast Kingdom, the event included a live performance from the Hejaz region and several cartoon-like characters wearing costumes, as live drumming reverberated with lively chanting.
There were plenty of opportunities to learn about the foundation’s activities as prizes were awarded to those who correctly responded to related questions asked via a microphone.
Essam Al-Jafari, executive director of the Saudi Cancer Foundation, spoke to Arab News about his excitement as the event unfolded.
