Electricity and Water Affairs Minister Dr. Abdulhussain
Mirza received in his office artist Yousef Amin Sahib who presented to him his
colouring book, which seeks to stimulate and encourage schoolchildren to pay
attention to clean energy.
Dr. Mirza welcomed the idea and stressed his support and
encouragement, expressing his thanks to Mr. Amin Sahib. The minister said it is
necessary to strive to establish clean energy concepts among children and young
people and encourage them to love the field of engineering and innovation in
solar energy at an early age.
He said the attention given to young people from the early
years leads to positive results in the future as they are the mainstay of the
future and they are the most promising generations.
Mr. Amin Sahib expressed his thanks and appreciation to the
minister and officials of the Sustainable Energy Centre for their support and
encouragement of this idea, and said he will strive to achieve it in
cooperation with the Center for Sustainable Energy.
He said the idea can also be expanded such as holding
workshops for children interested in solar energy and they be given prizes for
the competition of the most beautiful coloring book. He said the book will not
only be distributed in the schools of Bahrain, but even the sister Gulf
countries to benefit more.
The meeting was attended by Alexander Samahiji, Acting
Executive Director of the Center for Sustainable Energy and a number of
officials.
