UoB student designs centre for protection of children from assaults

University of Bahrain (UoB)'s faculty of engineering student Fatima Al-Hashimi, has designed a modern (SKY RUNNERS CENTER) project aimed to develop personality, thinking faculties, decision-making, speech and expression capabilities of children. According to engineering student Fatima Al-Hashimi the objective is to protect all children from assaults, direct parents and teachers on optimum techniques to educate children and open communication with them. She anticipated her project to meet with much positive response, citing similar projects such as the (Be Free) sponsored by the Bahrain Women's Association in Zinj area which provides numerous useful programs aimed to protect children from potential assaults. The researcher pointed out that she had conducted various questionnaires on diverse categories of subjects of her study and reached conclusions as to the considerable significance of establishing an All-in-One Center which provides comprehensive services to parents and children in one location as a breathing space for families whenever they are faced with any harrowing familial or educational snags. The creative research study project has been presented by the student by the end of academic year 2012/2013 as part of the requirements for her graduation from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bahrain.
