The Bahraini Catalysts Disabilities Association (BCDA) presented the “First Class Motivators Medal” to His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Supreme Committee for the Care of Persons with Disabilities, Mr. Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan. The award is in recognition of His Excellency’s role in supporting, serving, motivating and developing this segment of society, and his belief in the importance of integrating them into society and benefiting from their capabilities by developing their skills and discovering their latent talents. The association presents this medal to the primary supporters of motivating Persons with Disabilities (People of Determination). This came during a reception by the Minister of Labour and Social Development for the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bahraini catalysts disabilities association, Mr. Riyadh Ahmed Al Marzouq, in the presence of the association’s Financial Secretary, Mr. Jameel Abdullah Sabt, at his office at the Ministry. The Bahraini catalysts disabilities association is one of the most active, specialised societies in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It is an organisation that includes and serves all categories of people with disabilities, and is dedicated to developing and enhancing the skills of individuals with disabilities. It was launched in 2017 under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development. It aims to continue the journey of serving Persons with Disabilities (People of Determination), which began in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 1979, at the hands of distinguished pioneers who carried the torch in the field of voluntary service for persons with disabilities. It also aims to develop the scientific and practical capabilities of persons with disabilities by organising practical and theoretical workshops in various fields, in addition to discovering people’s talents to motivate them to integrate into society, through cooperation and coordination with governmental and private institutions, in addition to developing a plan to expand the capabilities of women with disabilities, care for them, and provide them with support. Humaidan expressed his pride in this medal and the association's appreciation, stressing that caring for persons with disabilities is a humanitarian duty, not just an official mission. He also noted the distinguished role played by the Bahraini Catalysts Disabilities Association, as part of the efforts of active NGOs in serving segments of society. He has praised the work of the Association since its establishment, including lectures, practical and theoretical workshops, and sports activities aimed at raising awareness and highlighting the skills of persons with disabilities, to develop and integrate them into society, as well as giving special attention to women with disabilities. In the same context, he emphasised the continuity of providing full support to persons with disabilities, based on national and humanitarian duty, as well as supporting all NGOs concerned with Persons with Disabilities to enhance their vital and essential role in partnership with state institutions in serving society. In turn, Mr. Al Marzouq stressed that the decision of the Board of Directors of the Bahraini Catalysts Disabilities Association to award the First Class Motivators Medal to the Minister of Labour and Social Development came as a token of appreciation and gratitude for his role as an exemplary model in supporting, motivating, and developing the capabilities of persons with disabilities. He emphasised that this effort reflects the values of the people of Bahrain, who care for and support all segments of society, particularly individuals with disabilities. He noted the Minister’s role in supporting and sponsoring the Bahrain Motivators Association since its establishment three years ago, in addition to his interest in ensuring that persons with disabilities have a presence in national events, especially in the ceremony to honour hard‑working and outstanding workers and distinguished establishments, in order to emphasise their important role and contributions to the development and building of society and serving the nation.
