Moa’ayad Ghashgari, founder of the Rewa'a team, emphasized: “The goal of this celebration is to bring happiness to the heart of these infants who cannot enjoy the delight of Eid inside the four walls of the hospital,”

He added: “These children are forced to stay in the hospital during Eid so we decided to pay them a visit and to bring the delight of Eid to their rooms.”

The alternate director of KAU hospital Mohammad Al-Salem expressed his happiness and noted: “The celebration that Rewa’a conducted was a great effort and I really thank them for being here with the children during Eid days.”
