SPOUSE OF KUWAITI DIPLOMAT LEADS CHARITY BAZAAR FOR SYRIANS http://www.namnewsnetwork.org/v2/read.php?id=192502
The Islamic Heritage Society held a charitable bazaar, proceeds of which would be devoted for aiding Syrian refugees in countries neighboring their crisis-stricken nation.
The philanthropic event, organized by the society, headed by Mrs. Suad Al-Otaibi, spouse of the permanent Kuwaiti delegate at the UN, Mansour Ayyad Al-Otaibi, at the headquarters of the Kuwaiti mission late on Friday, was attended by many UN officials, namely Udo Janz, Director of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Office in New York (UNHCR), ambassador of Arab, Islamic and Foreign states. Wives of the diplomats contributed with traditional food and handicrafts. In remarks to KUNA and Kuwait Television, Al-Otaibi said she opted to allocate sums of this annual gathering for the Syrian refugees, considering enormity of their plight. Al-Otaibi added that she received donations and checks from many donors, noting that she could not grant more two stands for each continent considering lack of sufficient space. She expressed hope to receive more donations, but stopped short of revealing how much she has received so far. However, some organizers disclosed that the total sum amounted to USD 40,000.
