Everything that happens within a family reflects on the behavior of individuals through their dealings with the larger community. Today we wanted to shed light on individual awarenessdue to its importance in the advancement of society, and its contribution to driving development, going hand in hand with the institutions of the Kingdom.

This aspect is important for all members of society to be aware of, in order to preserve this unique image that we are renowned for. Today with the era of modern technology, our societies have become open to many cultures. This comes with pros and cons, but it is important for everyone to be actively involved so that we may maintain our identity and avoidnegative immersion in other communities. “
