Sesame Workshop

Good evening and thank you, Leen, for those lovely words.  You may know the saying, “If you educate a woman, you educate a family.”  Your example makes clear that if you educate a girl, you educate the future.  And whenever I meet young Jordanians like you, I  know our country’s future is bright indeed.

(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department- New York) Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah was presented the 2005 Sesame Workshop Award and the Academy of Achievement Golden Plate Award, this week, for her outstanding contributions to improving the livelihood of children and her humanitarian work, respectively.

The awards are a symbol of her commitment to the causes she supports.
