QF celebrating 20 years of
excellence and innovation
THE UNIQUE journey of transition
that Qatar is making toward developing a knowledge-based economy has,
for the past 20 years, been supported
with pride and dedication by Qatar
Foundation for Education, Science
and Research, and Community Development (QF).
In the two decades since QF was
founded by His Highness Sheikh
Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Father Amir, and Her Highness Sheikha
Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of
Qatar Foundation, it has grown from
a vision of the future to a thriving organization, aspiring to and attaining
higher levels of accomplishment in the
service of its country and its people.
As it marks its 20th anniversary
in 2015, QF proudly boasts around
50 centers, all committed to the goal
of unlocking human potential, nurturing Qatars next generation of
leaders, and playing a pivotal role in
ensuring a bright and prosperous future for the nation.
Speaking at the launch of Education City, His Highness Sheikh
Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Father Amir, told of his strong belief in
education being the foundation upon
which to build knowledge-based, progressive nations: The new world educational system recognises that education is a universal right, and hence
enables students, wherever they might
be, to have access to the means of innovation and creativity, the acquisition of knowledge and expertise, and
the practice of responsibility.
The story of QF began with a simple
idea that emerged in 1995 between His
Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa
Al Thani and Her Highness Sheikha
Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of
Qatar Foundation. Their joint belief

responsibility and
commitment
It instills valuable attributes such as
improved self-confidence, selfesteem, discipline, responsibility and
commitment. It exposes youth to
unique concepts such as leadership,
teamwork and sportsmanship.
Lastly, through these activities,
children acquire a sense of selfidentity which is a concept we dont
always pay particular attention to.
In closing, prestigious schools
embed extracurricular activities
into their education system because
they understand that by affording
youth opportunities to learn and
practice new skills through handson experiential learning, they are
inadvertently improving their
chances at academic achievement.
It yields a stronger well-rounded
performing student. The science
supports this but more importantly
it cultivates a culture of success. If we
are to capitalize on this success, we
need to invest in this vision today. I
now pass this vision on to you.

recreation space thanks to the opening
of Education Citys new West Green
Spine sport and recreation arena on 14
December 2014.
The area, which encourages healthy
exercise, is now open for students, QF
staff, their families, and the general
public to enjoy.
Managed by Awsaj Recreation, the
West Green Spine can be used for basketball, volleyball, and football, and an
area is provided for relaxation, fitness,
and family enjoyment.
Its unveiling comes as QFs Open
Campus initiative, designed to enable
easier access to Education City and to
allow more people to experience QF, is
implemented.
Engineer Jassim Telefat, Group Executive Director, Capital Projects and
Facilities Management, and Mohammed Al Naimi, Director, Community

I CHOSE to do my Masters in
Conservation Studies at UCL
Qatar, a partner university of
Hamad bin Khalifa University, due to my strong interest
in studying the conservation
of Qatars culture and heritage,
and also because not many people are specialized in this field.
As the first student from the
Qatar Science Leadership Program to take up this course at
UCL Qatar, my goal is to complete my Masters degree, and
then to go on to achieve a PhD.
The knowledge and experiences
I will gain will help me to achieve
Qatar National Vision 2030.
It is important to preserve and
conserve our culture and heritage in Qatar, especially since Qatar is growing at such a fast pace.
What I am studying is a part of
my history, culture, and identity.
As UCL Qatar students, we have
learned how to assess the historical value of our surroundings,
and not take it for granted.
During the first few months
of my course, the benefits of the
course enhanced my research
skills in this specialization as
I learned conservation techniques by working in the lab
for many hours.
I strongly

conservation of specific objects,

acaulescent plants (plants
without a stem) or plants
without an erect stem,
while the lexical item
shajarah is specific to plants
with stem, stalk, or trunk.
The term Najm refers to
acaulous members of plant
life (stemless, or without
a visible stem) that have
emerged from the soil and
reclined flat. Also Najm
refers to the stars in the sky.
The botanical term in the
Holy Quran and Hadith
In the Holy Quran, Najm
and its derivatives appear
in seven places. But it only
appears once with botanical
implications.
Allah the Most Sublime
says:
And the herbs and the
trees - both (alike) bow in
adoration.

body in good condition and maintains cartilage, which aids joint flexibility.
Berries contain significant amounts
of folic acid, which helps to maintain
healthy red blood cells and is also a
very important part of a pregnant
womans diet because it helps to reduce the risk of central nervous system defects such as spina bifida in
unborn babies.
Raspberries are a particularly good
source of vitamins B1, B2 and B3,
which help to keep nerves and muscles healthy, aid the release of energy
from food, and promote the health of
the skin and the digestive system.
Fresh berries provide the most
health benefits, but dried berries are
also very good for you. Drinking
juices made from fresh berries is also
a great way to enjoy the many health
benefits they provide.
