Last weekend SILKERI participated in the 'YALLAH SHABAB' exhibition. It was the first time the organizers made such an event and they did a very professional job considering some minor details that hopefully they learned from and will improve upon next time.
The event started Friday evening and lasted all day Saturday from 9:00 AM to 10 PM. My relief failed to show up so I was there the entire time. Boy was I tired! We had a very rainy weekend but hopefully everyone showed up.
Across from me was GemStone Charms, a business owned by a young entrepreneur Shaikha who is still in high school. She makes jewelry, and head bands and is a very creative young lady. She had crowds around her table constantly.
Next to her was a dozen students from American School of Kuwait that were part of a program called 'injaaz'. It is similar to 'Junior Achievement'. They were selling ribbons that can be used for anything by people were primarily wearing them on their wrists. What was printed on the ribbon was the statement 'I'm Positive'. By purchasing the ribbon for a half KD you are making them a promise that you plan for now on to be positive. I'm pretty sure they sold at least one to almost everyone there.
Over all it was a very good exhibition, and I look forward to participating in a future one should they decide to organise another.
