On behalf of the RP Group & New Millennium School, we would like to express our overwhelming happiness and gratitude for the great coverage about our establishment in the pages of last week’s GulfWeekly.

We appreciate the professionalism with which you have provided the readers of GulfWeekly with a deep insight into the school’s high-tech learning and communication methods including our unique ‘complete learning management system’.

The lucidity of your words coupled with the excellent photographs and eye-catch display have truly provided us the most positive exposure. This catalyses our efforts in making the New Millennium School much better in the forthcoming years.

At this joyous moment, we, the management, principal, the entire staff and students jointly render our heartiest thanks to reporter Mai Al Khatib-Camille and to all other officials in the GulfWeekly family for conferring such a grand support to our humble endeavours in shaping tomorrow’s generation.

Conversation in bed this morning around 5am.

Me: “What’s that noise?”
Hubby: “Sounds like a lion clearing its throat. Heard it every morning since New Year.”
Me: “Don’t be daft, it can’t be!”
Yep, you guessed it; the compound manager confirmed it later. One of our neighbours in the village has a lion or two.

Need I say more?

Upon the request of His Majesty King Hamad, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Premier met with participants in the National Consensus Dialogue to explore means of overcoming the challenges faced recently.

Participants agreed to embark on a new phase of dialogue with the aim of reconciling the various points of view against a background of commitment to national responsibility, transparency, integrity and the country’s best interests.

Participants also agreed to raise the level of governmental and other parties’ representation in the dialogue which, it was determined, would tackle the following issues during the next stage: legislative, judicial and executive authorities, electoral constituencies and security for all.

We are pleased to announce that the 35th annual Raft Race will be held at the Al Bander Hotel and Resort on March 28. The Raft Race has continued to be successful and attracts teams and visitors from major national and international companies represented in Bahrain, as well as prominent families and clubs.

The Rotary Club of Sulmaniya has helped numerous charities in Bahrain over the years through the support of sponsors, including: Friendship Society for the Blind, Handicapped Centre, Uco Parents Care Centre, The Bahrain Down Syndrome Society, Isa Town Rehabilitation Centre, Alia for Early Intervention and The Bahraini Association for Mental Retardation.

We have challenged ourselves this year to provide support and opportunities for deprived children in Bahrain – whether they are deprived through physical or mental disability, social deprivation or any other circumstance and help them prepare to learn and succeed in life.
