Ms. Maha Naji Salah, the head of Ibhar foundation for Childhood and Creativeness, in statement told Yemen Times "Today we celebrate and honor the first- stage of the children of technology project that basically aims at eliminating illiteracy of computers and the internet among children."

She added "The first stage has witnessed the participation of 100 children and there will be a second stage in which 20 distinguished children will be chosen to run and design a website for children in order to partially erase ignorance of computers and the internet.

This activity coincides with the release of a series of stories that the Higher Council for Motherhood and Childhood has adopted. These important publications come at a time when there is nothing addressing the child's mind and spiritually. It is a true attempt to build an educated and intellectual generation."
