“We are proud to be a leading supporter of this and other worthwhile causes and events that ultimately contribute to the well-being of the community members and at the same time serve the interests of our beloved Kingdom,” he said.
Members of Shajara Tayyibah Committee are working in close collaboration with local artists to help them use modern techniques in making their traditional products; such as basket weaving and pottery in a more innovative and creative manner. This endeavor by the Shajara Tayyibah Committee is aimed to help Bahraini artists and craftsmen make their work more attractive to potential customers in order to compete locally and internationally. Proceeds of this event will be used for the development of the craftsmen community.
