The Ajman Department of Tourism Development partners with Kalimat Group to publish ‘Baba Hameed,’ a children’s book
aimed at fostering culture and reading among youth.
AJMAN, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – The Ajman Department of Tourism Development (ADTD) signed a cooperation agreement with Kalimat
Group, a leading institution dedicated to developing and publishing literary works and valuable books for children, to publish and distribute an illustrated
children’s book titled ‘Baba Hameed.’
The agreement comes in line with the shared goals of both parties to foster culture and knowledge among children and adolescents by offering rich and
diverse resources that nurture a habit of reading and exploration. Additionally, it aims to cultivate a passion for learning and a spirit of discovery,
empowering young readers to unlock their potential, expand their imagination and instil meaningful values. This, in turn, nurtures their character
development and equips them with the confidence and resilience required to successfully navigate the future.

His Excellency Mahmood Khaleel Alhashmi, Director General of the Ajman Department of Tourism Development, said: “We are excited to partner with
Kalimat Group, a leading institution that aligns with our belief that supporting the development of young children is an investment for a prosperous
future. Reading holds a vital role in enhancing critical and creative thinking skills, opening new avenues of knowledge and culture. Through this
collaboration, we aim to support meaningful literary production that enriches Arabic content for children, reinforces their cultural identity and instils
positive values that empower them to contribute towards a prosperous future.”
H.E. Alhashmi added: “We are dedicated to supporting projects that strengthen Ajman’s position as a hub for culture and knowledge. We hope that the
story of ‘Baba Hameed’ will give a unique experience to children that stimulates their imagination and encourages them to explore and learn through an
engaging and innovative method.”
Ahmed Abdul Salam Al Ali, General Manager of Kalimat Group, said: “This agreement embodies Kalimat Group’s dedication to fostering culture and
spreading knowledge. It further underscores our commitment to providing children and adolescents with greater opportunities to learn, explore and
embrace opportunities to create a brighter future. It also reflects our commitment to forging alliances with local and international organisations, in line
with our mission to provide children and adolescents – especially those with limited access – the chance to discover a wide selection of books and
reading materials across different subjects and genres, both within the Arab world and globally.”
This agreement complements ADTD’s efforts to nurture a culture of reading and knowledge among younger generations as part of Ajman’s vision of
becoming a leading cultural hub that supports talented youth. The partnership highlights the importance of collaboration between cultural and tourism
institutions in creating a lasting and sustainable impact on society while fostering intellectual and cultural growth of future generations.
