" It is our deep
faith that God is compassionate and merciful, and mercy is what
he bestows upon His subjects. He is generous and beautiful, and
beauty is what he gives. That is how we should see the world,
beautiful, with all its resources and contents, known to us or
unknown.
Qatar, our beloved, Be they human buds or wild flowers,
all are blossoms, all are natural and all are beautiful, bearing
Qatar's name. Let us all work together, caring for our
little buds. Let us plant them deep in the consciousness
of our land. Let us nurture them with love and care, to
help them blossom into flowers filled with beautiful scents and
to fill their surroundings with beauty."

On the Tragic Death of Maria Kaczynska
April 10, 2010

I was shocked and saddened to learn today of the death of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife Maria Kaczyńska, and their official delegation while on a diplomatic trip to Russia.
I came to know Maria as a compassionate and dedicated advocate for the intellectually and physically disabled. Every year since 2007, she attended the Shafallah Center for Children With Special Needs’ Global Forum in Doha Qatar.
Together with First Ladies from Africa, South America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East she supported our mission to create a just society for the disabled. She understood the strength of her example as a force for social change and, through Poland’s First Lady Maria Kaczynska with Mr. Hassan Ali Bin Ali, Chairman of Shafallah Center the solidarity of her fellow First Ladies, the power to raise the world’s expectations for those with special needs. Indeed, she helped raise the expectations of the disabled for themselves.
For this, the world owes her a debt of gratitude. For this, we mourn her loss.
