"We are proud to participate in this drive in cooperation with Qatar Charity,” Al Kuwari said, thanking Qatar Charity for its humanitarian role around the world, especially during these exceptional circumstances faced by refugees and the displaced.

Al Kuwari, "Our participation in this campaign is based on the societal role of the Qatar Stars League, interaction with community events, and support for all initiatives and programs in cooperation with various bodies.”

On this occasion, he thanked the clubs and players for their participation in this initiative, noting that football, which is very popular among people, can play a role in supporting humanitarian and community activities and programs.

Abdul Karim Hassan, a player of Al Sadd Sports Club and the Qatar National Team, said that our participation in the initiative is a humanitarian duty, and we, as players, must take part in charitable works that help the poor and needy, as the players especially footballers have a large number of fans.  

Qatar Charity, through this initiative, aims to support the displaced and refugees in countries going through exceptional conditions and facing a harsh winter, and provide them with winter essentials, food and other items to help them survive the severe cold.
