Exploring Doha: QP Environment Fair 2011

Consistent with Turknoys' commitment towards Beyond Earth hour, we attended the QP Environment Fair 2011 today at Qatar Exhibition Centre.

In addition to reading books which aims to increase environmental awareness for kids such as Dora Celebrate Earth Day and  Oxford Reading Tree's Bottles, Cans, Plastic Bags, we intend to participate in Qatar events which also aims for environmental awareness. 

Today, kicked off the QP Environment Fair. It is our first time to attend the fair but the fair is an annual event aimed to increase awareness. It is hosted by Qatar Petroleum and participated by all of its subsidiaries such as Qatalum, QAFCO, Exxon among others.

This year, the fair is focused on kids! And it was so enjoyable for kids indeed. Lots of activities for kids involving the concept of environmental protection. Kylie and Kerim definitely learned a lot about the environment.


But of course, we took photos and here goes some:
