(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department – Amman) Once a year the women of the Al Karama, Bani Hamida and Wadi al Ryan projects come together to exhibit their exquisite creations at Jordan River Foundation's Annual Handicrafts Exhibition. Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah visited the project beneficiaries at the opening of this year's exhibition, titled "Jordanian Summer Fair," to tour the unique displays set up by the foundation.
Jordan, along with several other Arab nations, is increasingly weaving the tenets of sustainable practices into day-to-day business.
Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah is a mother, a wife, a boss, an advocate, and a humanitarian.
She once said, “I just wake up and feel like a regular person. At the end of the day you are living your life for the people that you represent. It’s an honour and a privilege to have that chance to make a difference – a qualitative difference in people’s lives – and it’s my responsibility to make the most out of that opportunity.”
