(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Qatar Foundation (QF) wrapped up its presence at the National Day celebrations hailing it a huge success with more than 83,000 people of all ages visiting QF's tent during the near two-week celebration yesterday.
The 13-day event at the Darb Al Saai grounds was designed to create an engaging experience for the public to heighten awareness of QF and its core pillars of education, science and research, and community development.
Through a mix of fun and interactive educational activities, QF developed a learning environment of its pillars promoted by the Foundation and its many participating affiliate centres and members.
Honouring Qatar's history and preserving the nation's culture, traditions and heritage, all help build a strong foundation for a better future that is part of QF's mission, reflected by the many activities over the past two weeks.

Al Saai helped leave a positive and lasting impression in the community about its mission, values, activities and desire to discover more about Qatar Foundation.
During the past fortnight, QF's participation was supported by its social media channels that covered various activities across the main platforms of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram attracting over 1.5 million views.
Coverage included interviews with community members, videos of activities and explanations of QF's initiatives and objectives.
QF's tent drew a number of high-profile visitors, including VIPs and dignitaries who said QF delivered its concept of promoting the three pillars in a creative and interactive way to benefit the community.
Abdullah bin Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al'ifan, Ambassador of Saudi Arabia, said, "Through what I have seen here at Qatar Foundation's activities, I would like to thank QF for its positive initiatives that help Qatar's community and be an inspiration for other countries."
Eric Chevalier, France's ambassador to Qatar, added: "I find it very interesting because here we have tradition and preserving the country's roots. At the same time there are other activities about the future.
This is my understanding of Qatar Foundation. It is the link between the deep roots and the people of this country with the future and looking to the 21st century. QF is also sending a message to the outside world here about what Qatar represents."
