Exhibitions due on sidelines of the Second International Humanitarian Pledging conference for Syria to be held on January 15 will highlight the pioneer role of Kuwait and its charities in the humanitarian aid arena, especially in helping Syrian refugees. Mohammad Bin Reda, in charge of activities due on the conference fringes, said in remarks to KUNA on occasion of opening the conference-affiliated second photos exhibition, on Saturday night, that this fair aimed to shed light on the Syrian refugees' plight. It also promotes Kuwait's voluntary and humanitarian efforts in alleviating the refugees' suffering, he added. The media committee affiliated to the supreme conferences committee, headed by Advisor at the Amiri Diwan Mohammad Abul-Hassan, is organizing such fairs to educate the public on remarkable role of charities in alleviating suffering of the Syrian refugees by offering them shelter, food, education and medical services. The charities taking part in the fair are Kuwait Relief Organization, Al-Najat Charitable Society, along with eight other philanthropic societies, including Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) which had already launched its fair at "360" commercial mall. The associations are pledging to offer USD 100 million to the Syrian refugees during the conference. That sum equals the same financial aid, pledged during the first conference of this level, but it might exceed that limit during the second convention, said Jaber Al-Wndah, the Deputy Director General of Al-Najat Charity Society and General Coordinator at Kuwait Relief Organization. Kuwait Relief Organization, a umbrella for national charities, headed by Yousif Al-Hajji and his deputy Ahmad Al-Jasser, has vowed since the first conference to collect donations for the refugees. The organization is planning a mega project, to be launched during the upcoming conference, envisioning establishment of ten (makeshift) towns for Syrian refugees, under the name "Kuwait City," in Jordan and Turkey. Each town is projected to cost KD four million. Meanwhile, coordination is underway with Lebanon on prospects of building such towns in the country. Each one will include 1,000 housing units, schools, medical clinics, women rehabilitation and training centers, besides entertaining places for children.
