• Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs and wife of the ruler of Sharjah.

• “Children are especially close to our hearts because they are defenseless, vulnerable and innocent. We often say children are the future, but the future is only possible if we act today. We aim not only to save children’s lives - through healthcare, clean water, nutrition, safety and shelter - but also to transform their lives through education. Every child has a right to dream, and education will empower them to elevate themselves above their hardships and pursue their dreams in a sustainable long-term vision”.

• Her Highness was invited to visit UNHCR head quarter in Geneva by the High Commissioner. The visit took place on the 16th of January, 2013.

• “Today we stand here not as politicians, not as religious leaders, but simply as fellow human beings who refuse to look the other way during one of the biggest humanitarian catastrophes in human history. I notice media headlines calling this a “Syrian crisis”, but the truth is that it has spilled over and escalated into a Lebanese crisis, a Jordanian crisis, a Turkish crisis - in short, it is no longer just an Arab crisis but a crisis for humanity.”
