Crown Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, Deputy Premier, Defense and Aviation Minister and Inspector General, who is also the honorary president of the Prince Salman Society and Center for Disability Research, has announced that he will annually donate SR10 million to the society.
The Crown Prince made this announcement here on Tuesday evening while patronizing the first meeting of the society's general assembly and the fourth meeting of the society's founders, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The Crown Prince, who was accompanied by Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz, Emir of Riyadh Region and the society's founder, and Prince Faisal Bin Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz, Secretary General of Prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud Charitable Foundation, was welcomed by Prince Khalid Al-Faisal, Emir of Makkah Region, Prince Sultan Bin Salman Bin Abdul Aziz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the society, and Abdel-Maqsoud Khoja, a founder of the society.
The Crown Prince received the society's annual report on the achievements attained in the service of the handicapped.
