education initiative

Thank you very much, Rob; it feels good to be introduced by “the most influential man in telecoms” today. Like you, I’m thrilled about the promise of the premier league partnership of GSMA and 1GOAL, and I’ll be talking about that too, a bit later in my remarks.

But first, let me say how honored I am to be part of such a dynamic conference: as dynamic in scale and expertise… as it is in vision and innovation.

Enabling over 3 billion connections, and growing at a rate of over 1000 subscribers per minute, it’s no wonder that GSMA is the mobile industry’s leading institution.

(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department- Barcelona) At the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona today, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan joined forces with the GSMA, the mobile industry’s leading institution, to announce the 1GOAL: Education for All Mobile Campaign in support of 72 million children still denied access to basic primary education.

(Office of Her Majesty- Press department- Amman) As Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah launched Madrasati Palestine, today, an education initiative to renovate disadvantaged schools under the auspices of the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, in East Jerusalem, the official website and Facebook fan page for the initiative were also launched.
