On the morning of Wednesday 3 April 2013, the Conductive Rehabilitation Institution held a celebration of Kuwaiti Heritage Day on the Institution's stage in the Farwaniya area. The ceremony began with the national anthem, followed by verses from the Holy Quran recited by the student Ayed Al-Muzairi, and then the address of the Institution's Director, the esteemed Ms Izdihar Al-Anjari, who extended her sincere thanks to the attendees for answering the invitation and her gratitude to all the teachers for their good organisation and for preparing the heritage items.
She also stressed the Institution management's commitment and interest in holding heritage activities and events, and in teaching and explaining to students the authentic Kuwaiti customs and traditions of Kuwait in the past, through the nature of simple life and the kinds of traditional trades that disappeared with development but remain in people's hearts, with children with disabilities taking part in this day through a presentation of these trades, such as the leather worker, the pearl dealer, the bisht maker and the pearl diver.
The ceremony also included varied items, among them the students presenting some of what Kuwaitis used to wear in the past, a theatrical scene of an old Kuwaiti wedding, in addition to competitions and traditional riddles (Al-Ghatawi) and proverbs, a special presentation on women in the past and their work in spinning hair and wool and making clothes, and folk dances from Kuwaiti heritage performed by the students, with an exhibition telling of how things used to be.
