Art in Iran, Arab World Institute Paris,

Poppy event at BSK: The British
School of Kuwait (BSK) launched its
annual Poppy Appeal in aid of the British
Legion. Red poppies are sold for two
weeks prior to Remembrance Day and
funds raised by the charity are used to
provide help and welfare for former soldiers and their families. The poppy
emblem was chosen because of the poppies that blossomed across some of the
battlefields of Belgium and France during
World War I. 2014 is the centenary of the
World War I and during the first two
weeks in November a series of events will
be taking place at the BSK campus to
commemorate this special milestone.
A group of BSK staff and students have
returned from visiting some of the battlefields in France including Verdun and the
Somme and an exhibition of memorabilia
and photographs is being mounted in the
Euston Gallery on the BSK campus to
coincide with Remembrance Day on Nov
11. The BSK Director, Madam Vera AlMutawa MBE, launched the BSK Poppy
Appeal at morning assembly.
