An elementary school in Riyadh made the most exciting surprise for one of its student, Mu’tazz Owayyed Al Hajri. The student who has not seen his father for a long time and did not know he was in Riyadh found his father waiting for him at school.

The student’s father has been on mission to the southern borders for defending the country and its Holy places.

In a video that went viral on social media on Wednesday, a school teacher said he was very impressed by the student’s wish in which he said he missed his father and that what his father was doing was a source of pride and honour to him.

The school management allowed the student’s father to attend the celebration held in the classroom to mark his return, leaving a positive effect on the student.
