Spring of Culture 2011 would not be complete without its social responsibility programme that
the festival provides with heart.

As a start, the festival has agreed with some of the participating groups to perform extra shows
especially for childcare societies. Children of Al Sanabil Orphans Care Society in Muharraq
are invited to see the enchantingly beautiful performance of the puppet show Pekka. Al Sanabil
Orphans Care Society has more than 400 orphans registered to whom it provides special services
and ensures they are integrated into the society.

Dan Zanes and Friends are excited about giving a special concert at the National Bank of Bahrain
Home for the Disabled, which is a school that provides special education for children with Down
Syndrome, Autism and Developmental Delay.

In addition, Play Please, one of our most attractive shows for children will invite the curious minds
of the Child Welfare Home to their performance.

The Child Welfare Home is an establishment by the Ministry of Social Development that hosts and
responds to the needs of a large number of orphans in the country. The festival will also give away a
number of tickets for the Arad Fort events to other children societies as well as elderly homes.

Spring of Culture continues to be nature friendly by printing on environmentally friendly paper
and producing a smaller number of promotional materials.
