Shaikh Mohammad launches 5-million book campaign in Dubai to educate world's needy children

  DUBAI – A campaign to distribute five million books to the world’s needy children was launched in Dubai on Sunday (June 5). “The fastest way to end poverty is to eliminate ignorance. We plan to move from feeding the hungry to nurturing minds,” said Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, as he launched the campaign, "Reading Nation". “In some countries 30 children share one book, it is our cultural and religious duty to support knowledge seekers wherever they are,” Sheikh Mohammed tweeted, urging businessmen as well as private and public institutions to contribute to the campaign.
