Statement of Head of Waqf
All of us know that Yemen and Yemenis are always appreciated and loved by people all over the world. Actually, Yemenis are considered the origin of Arabs and they are very kind and good people and their country has an important geographic location in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula. It overlooks Bab Al-Mandab Strait and this is considered an important strategic location for all the countries. In addition, Yemen has several natural resources and its climate is varied.The Yemeni people are considered the most important wealth and active factor in the process of development. This is due to their characteristics such as tolerance, patience and adaptation to the difficult conditions of life. The consecutive emigrations of Yemenis throughout history have made all the peoples of the world realize their hospitality, coexistence, tolerance, ability to integrate into and participate in the host country, in addition to their discipline and respect of the laws of the countries to which they emigrate.
