 I found   this  post on the X account of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar . They are proud to announce the successful reunification of 14 children with their families in Ukraine and Russia, a testament to Qatar's ongoing humanitarian diplomacy. Qatar has played a vital mediating role in various international conflicts, leveraging its neutrality and diplomatic ties. This reunification effort, made possible through cooperation from both Ukraine and Russia, underscores Qatar’s commitment to conflict resolution and the protection of children in war zones. Such initiatives are critical as thousands of children have been displaced by the war. They remain committed to prioritizing the well-being of children affected by conflict and are extremely happy for the families reunited through these efforts.

Visit to the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum in Doha

 

We had been here before, but this time we received an invitation for a guided tour. We paid the participation fee and were not disappointed. Our local guide was very knowledgeable, and the experience was incredibly interesting this way!

The Sports Museum showcases Qatar's sports history and the global sports culture in a unique way. During the guided tour, we not only saw the exhibits but also gained deeper insight into the history of the objects and the development of sports in Qatar. Such visits are always more special when a local expert shares the background, as they enrich the experience with their personal knowledge and insights.

Even the teenage tennis portrait of the Emir was on display, which we hadn’t noticed on our own before.

    We even got to sit in the BeIN Sports channel's newsreader room and read sports news.It was  fun .

    

My only complaint was that there were no materials related to Hungary.I think the Golden Team of soccer would have definitely deserved a photo...

Why did the great whale stray so far from its cool home?

Did the warm seas confuse its path, or was it searching for something lost?

Was it sick or hurt, drifting on the tides, carried by currents it could not fight?

Or is it a sign of a changing world, where even the deep oceans feel the heat?

The whale’s silent journey reminds us how all life is connected,

From the coldest waters to the warmest shores.

Shift System at an Overcrowded School in Doha – Is This a Good Idea?

 Birla Public School, an Indian community school in Doha, seems to have welcomed more students than it can comfortably manage. So much so, that the management suddenly decided to shift some students’ classes to a later time, starting at 9:30 AM. But is this really the best solution? It’s September, and the heat is still relentless. Imagine waiting around in the morning sun at 9:30 for the bus! The usual 7:15 AM start has been pushed back. What does a child do with those extra hours? 

And what about the parents? Do they juggle their work schedule around this new change? Does anyone consider how inconvenient this might be for working families?

It takes me back to my school days in Hungary in the 1970s, during the peak of a baby boom. Schools overflowed with students, and we had no choice but to rotate between morning and afternoon shifts every two months. We, the 8 or 9-year-olds, felt the weight of it most. Was it fair to us? We hardly saw our friends, barely spent time with family, and the mornings dragged on with only ourselves for company. 

Isn't it strange how times have changed in Europe, where too many children is but a distant memory? Yet in India, it seems history repeats itself. Have we learned nothing, or are we all still caught in the same dance, parents and management alike, just trying to make it work?
