\nIn an address on the occasion, Echarkoui said that His Majesty King Mohammed VI\u2019s continued High Patronage of the camp reflects His Majesty\u2019s care for Palestinians in general and Jerusalemites in particular, especially children, adolescents, and young people.

\nHe noted that the program will introduce the children to Morocco\u2019s culture and heritage through educational and recreational activities.

\nFor her part, Muntaha Atoun, representative of the Jerusalem Directorate of Education and the ministry official accompanying the students, expressed her sincere gratitude to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, for providing this opportunity to the children of Jerusalem.
\nShe said the camp would allow the children to discover Morocco\u2019s culture and heritage firsthand while visiting different parts of the country. She expressed hope that the experience would continue to strengthen the bonds of friendship and cultural exchange between the two brotherly countries.
\nThe Jerusalemite children expressed their delight at taking part in the camp and welcomed the opportunity to discover Moroccan culture and connect with their Moroccan peers. They thanked His Majesty King Mohammed VI for the initiative and BMAQ for organizing the camp, expressing enthusiasm for discovering Morocco and sharing Jerusalem\u2019s heritage with their Moroccan peers.
