RIYADH: The Insan Association hosted a charity dinner as part of its campaign during Ramadan.
The association steps up its activities during the holy month when people traditionally donate handsomely to the charity.
The Insan team, in association with the Hospitality Board Holding Co., a Riyadh-based company operating in the food and staples retail sector, hosted a meeting with the committee for the Aflaaj branch of the charity, Waddah Omran, public relations manager, said Friday.
“This meeting came under the patronage and presence of Aflaaj Gov. Zaid Al-Hussein and a number of top figures from Aflaaj city,” said Omran.
Several donors joined the charity campaign during this meeting, but the largest donation came from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Zannan, a member of the Aflaaj committee and a philanthropist, who donated SR1 million ($267,000) to the project in the Aflaaj region.
Moreover, Al-Zannan agreed to bear the costs of the Insan media campaign to foster public awareness about the charity project for orphan care.
Speaking on this occasion, Hospitality Board Chairman Hamdan Al-Bader said: “The Insan Association is sincerely concerned with orphan care, and is a group in society that is loved by all of us for its noble work.”
“It is indeed an honor for us to continue to support this charity campaign and its people,” said Al-Bader, adding that this humanitarian interest comes from the company’s social responsibility since its establishment.
The Hospitality Board Holding Co. ownes local restaurants including Sizzler House, Canton, Tako Hut, Roma Way, Shawirmarito and Coffee Aroma.
Saleh Al-Yousef, Insan Association general manager , said: “We thank the Hospitality Board for hosting this meeting, for their constant response in coordination to support Insan on various occasions, and Sizzler House for providing wonderful hospitality.”
The Insan Association focuses on enhancing orphan care through emphasizing the importance of education to make orphans self-reliant.

Taif festival celebrates Saudi Arabia’s literary icons
- It introduces visitors to the contributions of literary pioneers through accessible visual and narrative content
TAIF: A special section highlighting key Saudi literary figures forms part of the Writers and Readers Festival in Taif.
The area explores the lives of distinguished writers, poets, and authors who have shaped the Kingdom’s creative landscape, influencing literature, journalism, theater and intellectual thought.
It introduces visitors to the contributions of literary pioneers through accessible visual and narrative content, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
Organized by the Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission, the festival runs until Jan. 15 and features 42 prominent publishing houses from Saudi Arabia and overseas, offering visitors the chance to explore the latest works in literature, philosophy and general knowledge.
Meanwhile, the festival’s interactive murals section engages visitors with openwork art panels, allowing them to contribute to the city’s features and identity.
The murals depict Taif’s natural and historical landmarks, including Al-Hada Mountain, the Taif rose gardens, and traditional Hijazi palaces. Others are inspired by Souq Okaz, a historic literary and commercial center linked to the region’s poetic heritage.
Designed by a visual artist, they blend folk-inspired elements with imaginative expression, creating a collaborative experience that celebrates the city’s beauty and brings art closer to the public.
