EIGHTY six Qatar-based authors have been included in the world’s largest anthology about fathers that has ever been published. The book titled My Father was published by My Father initiative, a non-profit project that was commissioned in 2010 to conduct a series of programmes and events to celebrate the role of fathers in the lives of their children across the world. Though based out of Qatar, the project also saw active participation from people in various parts of the world, who joined hands to pay the world’s greatest tribute to fathers. The project led to various activities that enkindle the father-child relationship, and included a creative writing workshop, in partnership with Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation, a creative writing contest for all schools and colleges in Qatar, a photography contest, an Arabic debate and the publishing of My Father, co-authored by 102 people from across the world who wrote true stories about their fathers. There were 86 stories from Qatar-based authors, including four stories by children with special needs from the Learning Center, and four stories from the Gaza strip from Palestinian children facing war and oppression on a daily basis, collected in partnership with the Al Fakhoora Project. The winners of the various contests held as part of the initiative were announced recently. In the creative writing contest for schools in Qatar, Rami Chahine of Qatar International School won the first prize, with Hanan Said of the Cambridge International Cover of My Father School for Girls coming second. For the contest among college students, both prizes went to students from the Weill Cornell Medical College Qatar (WCMC-Q) with Aicha Mahfoudhi taking the first prize and Shajeedha Ameerudeen the second. Stories sent in by these students about their fathers have also found a place in the book. In the photography contest which was also held on the theme of ‘father-child relationship’, Johnny HP was declared the winner, with Manoj Neelakandhan coming second. The grand finale of the project is scheduled to be held in the third week of June when all the Qatar-based authors will receive copies of their books and sign books, making it the largest such book signing anywhere in the world. The programme will also see prizes being distributed to winners of the creative writing contest and the photography contest. The book, My Father, is available for purchase online from www.my-father.net. The book is being promoted as a perfect Father’s Day gift. Father’s day falls on June 10. All proceeds from the sale of the book will be given to charity.
