Books are the best companion of children when it comes to building their future and enhancing their wisdom. The United Arab Emirates leadership always proves with action and leads from the front to build an educated, skilful and solid society. The educated society is the guarantee for the bright future of the country (“Bodour graces interactive exhibition for children,” Oct. 9, Gulf Today website).
