Hello Dear friends..United Arab of Emirates is celebrating since 2008 with Year of Identity till it reached the Year of Innovation, then the Year of Reading after that comes the Year of Giving till we arrived this year 2018 which culminated in the name of Zayed. Because he is the teacher, educator and wise leader, he has instilled, May he rest in peace, in UAE People seeking knowledge and love of reading with children, and urged them for reading, because of their impact on the young before the Old. Reading improves the character and enrich the linguistic output, through the ability to master the precise pronunciation of the characters and to pronounce and use correctly. Accordingly, the wise leadership, represented by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, decided to adopt every March a month of reading in which he commits efforts and intensifies programs to benefit from this initiative on a large scale in all departments and institutions in the UAE. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum launched the “Reading Challenge”, and the Emirates Literary Festival was launched as part of the effort to encourage reading. Finally, the Traffic Awareness Section launched the “Read with Salama” event in March in Dubai public and private schools to benefit from

the stories and topics of “ Salama Magazine “ to encourage children to read in support of the month of reading.

Reading for All Look Dad! These are books about different kinds of fish and how

to catch them. It’s your favorite hobby.

Indeed. The good point they are all

new books I didn’t read before.

We are in March dear, it’s the month

of reading in our beloved UAE.

Reading is very impor-tant. It was the first word that revealed to Prophet Muhammad, peace be

upon him, in the cave of Hira: Read.

I can’t read these large

books. No worries, you

will go to the Children stories

corner.

What are you doing? , Come on choose a book

instead of a toy.

It’s okay Sala-ma, this toy is an educational

one.

Why won’t we go to the amusement park instead of the Book

Fair?

I’m Salama Scenario: Loulwa Thani

Children Stories are so colorful with nice draw-

ings, I wonder which one should I choose?

You can buy this toy & this story.

I will read this story for you. What do you

think?

Nice idea, thanks Salama.

Mum, promise you’ll buy me a

toy later.

I promise dear.

know we are the top of the league.

Each match has its own condition

Yasser. When will we start playing today at

7 or 7:30?

At 7, and don’t forget our appoint-

ment with other buddies at the

same Cafeteria.

Why don’t you have dinner then

go Salem?Excuse me darling, I’ll have dinner with

my friends today.

The match will start at 7, you want to go

now!You know my dear,

I hate to be late.

Don’t you think Yasser is late, only

two minutes left and the match will start.

I think so. I’ll give him a call.

Engineer SalemWhere are you

Road congestion and many signs, unfortunately I came out late.

Anyway I’ll find a way.

I will not waste the match time in the traf-fic, I’ll take a shortcut.

Oh My God! I’m stuck and the

match has started.

Unfortunately, Yasser had an accident and he is

in hospital now.

Get well soon.

Even if you are late for the match, it’s not an excuse for

you to drive in such a way, nothing important more

than your safety my friend.

Precautions against home garage accidents

What is this boy doing? He puts

himself in danger.

Hello buddy, why are you playing football here?

Mum doesn’t allow me to

go to the park alone. She said I can play outside.

Let me talk to your Mum dear.

Salamu Alikum Super

Nader.

Aliki Al Salama Ma’am. In fact I saw

a very dangerous behaviour and I

would like to draw your attention to it.

What is it?

I saw your son playing outside at the home garage. He could be

hurt if somebody moved the car

without noticing him.

Super Nader was hovering over the city making an investigation tour

when he sees a boy playing with his ball around a car at his house garage.

It’s not a big deal, he is playing in the

front yard or around the house.. What’s dangerous in that?

Home garage accidents occur

even in the safest homes and the most

educated about safety precautions.

Oh No! What shall I do to keep

him safe?

Start with not leaving your kid

without supervision when he plays in

the front yard. Don’t allow him to play outside at night.

Teach your child the basic rule of

never playing around or near

a parked or moving car.

If you want to move the car and no adult is supervising the child,

you have to make sure he is with you

inside the car before moving it.

At last make a tour around the car before

moving to make sure there is no child

around or under it.

I did not expect all these things, Super Nader, thank

you for your advice. We will follow the safety

procedures from now on.

And you my friend, don’t forget to educate your

friends if they are doing the same.

Sure, I promise

I will.

Vehicle’s Driver Behaviour You didn’t eat your

breakfast!I’ll eat it on my

way Mum. I have limited time, I’ll

be late for the first lecture.

The giraffe was pampered, arrogant and chaotic. She doesn’t take into

account the feelings of others.

She is also not of a calm one, not driving according to traffic laws and always

nervous.

Oh! I’m so late, the parking is

full.. what shall I do now?

Okay, here is a car exiting.. Oh! Another car near it is

waiting.

Traffic Jungle

I came first, he has no right to

talk.

This is an unethical behavior, the

priority comes to me.

Oh go away, search for

another parking.

I won’t let you go first, let’s

see whose car is faster?

The pampered giraffe insisted on her behaviour. She drove in a very carless and dangerous way that puts herself

and other driver into danger.

You’ve done a huge mistake.. Thanks God you are safe. Driving is

ethics more than a skill.

Sahih, the Roads FriendDangerous Act

16 - 17

Dear friends, I want to draw your attention to a

phenomenon that may be the most dangerous for

pedestrians.

As you see, what I mean is being

distracted with mobile phones while walking

on sidewalks or crossing streets.

The risk is, my friends, that a person is fully occupied with the content he sees

in his mobile, and does not feel what is going on

around him.

More dangerous is that he walks and

doesn’t see or hear anything on the

street.

Please pay attention to how danger

such an act is, as your safety is what

matters.

Inspector HamadDriving Attentively Scenario: Loulwa Thani

Oh My God! What is

happening?

Hello Ma’am, are you okay?

Yes.. Yes Thanks to

Allah.

That truck was almost hitting me from the rear side.

The truck driver is not mistaken, he was driving in the highway correctly. You

are the one who was driving backwards.

My mobile kept on ringing, I thought there is an emergency. I searched

for it everywhere.

So that distracted you and make you drive backwards. Exactly!

You put your life and others’ lives in danger. This dangerous act

leads to a fine of 500 AED and 4

black points, so be careful for the future.
