SANA'A, March 15 ) A French welfare association known as Link Association launched its activities program at Al-Sabeen Hospital in Sana'a. The welfare program aims to give sick children special care and establish a well-equipped entertainment room for them with early learning as well as entertainment facilities.

At the project's opening ceremony, Sandrine Fradet expressed her thankfulness to sponsors for their support and contributions to the humanitarian project's success. She also clarified Link's essential goals and its activities in Yemen: “The first step has been taken, with the opening of the hospital's early learning activities room. The project is the first of its kind in Yemen and is considered a big success, with children being looked after in this entertainment room.”

For his part, Al-Sabeen Hospital's deputy head delivered a speech thanking Link and those who contributed to opening the entertainment room.

Teleyemen commercial and marketing director Mr. Ranchon mentioned that Link signed a Dec. 17, 2005 agreement with the hospital to create a children's playroom consisting of toys, a television and other equipment to help hospitalized children enhance their knowledge and abilities while being treated at the hospital. Teleyemen not only will donate to Link, but it will provide other visual equipment to the hospital to explain to mothers how to care for their children.

Furthermore, Link aims to help poor populations, especially Yemeni children and mothers at Al-Sabeen. It began its activities in Yemen in 2001 by sending medication to Al-Sabeen. Over the past four years, it has sent more than 1,500 kilos of medicine and some equipment.

Link's recognition in Yemen is undeniable, with its work being appreciated and supported by many Yemeni institutions.
