Al Mahdi Scouts’ Fourth Art and Activity Fair Diary: Days Four and Five

On its fourth and fifth days, Al Mahdi Scouts' Fourth Art and Activity Fair caught the attention of many of its visitors. During the forth day, a delegation of Al Mahdi Girl Scouts Guides participated, presenting a fine example of the message and path the organization follows.

On the fifth day, Al Mahdi Boy Scouts assembled to visit the fair and participate in the several activities and galleries. Of the delegations to the fair was an Iranian delegation, which roamed the fair, praising in every activity and gallery.

In an interview with "moqawama.org", Mina Khadivi, an Iranian film and animation director, who is currently in Lebanon for directing an animation about July 2006 war, praised the works of the fair saying, "The happy and strong mood in the fair, and intelligence, gives thoughts of a wonderful future for our children, and a wonderful generation".

When asked about the corners of the fair, Khadivi said that the Computer hall caught her eyes, because is gives children a chance to play a game where they play the role of the resistance in fighting the "Israeli" enemy.

Commenting on the western campaign drawn against Al Mahdi Scouts advertising it as a terrorist organization, Mina Khadivi said "The West is always afraid of us and our children and future generations, so they are trying to pressure our children, just as they influence the older generations. While in fact, Al Mahdi Scouts Organization; teaches our children loyalty and patriotism, in addition to the right path of the resistance".

The "Computer Hall", gives children a chance to develop their ability to experience the true meaning of fighting the enemy in one way or another. For youngsters, the best way to adopt those values is through simple means like computer games. Other corners visited by different delegation were the "Radio Station", where the participant plays the role of a radio station news reporter, anchoring news and testing their voices. The "Trainer", a corner specialized for children with teaching abilities, able to teach and train others.

"Scouting Skills", a special scouting corner, with special scouting skills, gives non-scouts a glimpse about the general life form of scouts, whether in camps or indoors.
"Al Mahdi Supplication", another spiritual corner full of faith, giving children the opportunity to send Imam Mahdi a letter, asking him for relief and his arrival to defeat all enemies of the nation.

Only five days have passed, and the fair rolls on until the 3rd of May, giving out an opportunity for more delegations and schools to participate in all activities and galleries.
