in Jordan, Queen Rania recognizes Orange for its support of “Madrasati” initiative

In Jordan, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah recognized the France Telecom Orange Group for its support of the Madrasati initiative launched by Her Majesty in April 2008.
Divided into five stages, the Madrasati initiative aims to renovate the infrastructure of at least 500 public schools across the Kingdom, which suffer primarily from lack of financial and technical resources.
Jordan Telecom Group and the Orange Foundation, the France Telecom Orange Group corporate foundation, contributed to renovating some of the country's most needy schools, helping to create a safe and better learning environment for students.

Jordan Telecom Group CEO Mickael Ghossein, along with other Madrasati supporters, received an award from Her Majesty in recognition of the company's support. Expressing his gratitude and delight for receiving the award, Ghossein said: "Her Majesty's encouragement of the public and private sectors and civil society entities is the real reason behind the success of this initiative. Madrasati truly addresses the key issues of the educational sector in Jordan. We take immense pride in being part of this socially responsible effort."

In the first phase of the initiative, the Group helped renovate four schools spread over the Kingdom, which were Izz el-Deen al-Qassam primary school, Queen Alia School for the Deaf, and the Rajm al-Shami al-Gharbi primary and secondary schools. The Group also supported these schools' educational programs, teaching and learning methods.
