Children of Qatar have the best lifestyle in the world

 Expats Children in Qatar : The Luckier Oneson Earth

The children of the expats are the luckiest lot here in Qatar. The income/status of the family notwithstanding, these children have the best of the best facilities and privileges that can be provided by their parents. Moreover, the government of Qatar enables the parents to give them the maximum family-time ever possible on the Mother Planet.

Back home in their own native place, the parents may toil hard, and sacrifice the family time to try to provide such facilities and privileges to their children, but the local administration fails them. Frequent power-cuts, increased pollution, inflation, unstable political situation, crimes, etc negate the conjugal environment. Children are isolated from their parents, thereby making them waste the quality time by mixing more with their friends and neighbours, which at times isdetrimental for their development.

In countries like US, Canada and Australia, very rarely both the parents and their children are at home at one time. If the children are at home, the mother or the father is out on duty. Some say that they keep the father’s photograph near the tiny totsto remind them about the appearance of their father, or else they might comment seeing their father that “Mom, Uncle is at the door !!”.Frequent cases of drug abuse, mental diseases and failed marriages are some results of the environment the children are brought up in these countries.

Here in the Middle East, esp. in Qatar, there is boom in economy, and more and more expats are arriving, making stiff competition for admission in schools.  Whatever be the salary status of the parents, the children are given the best education in the schools, where latest technology has been incorporated to make them grasp knowledge efficiently and quickly. At home, the parents enable 24 hours internet facility, extra classes, etc etc. Residential apartments give them free assess to gymnasium and swimming pools. Free landline calls make it possible for unlimited over-the-phone discussions to seek/solve any problem in their studies. Parents can give maximum attention to their children as they are mostly at home in the evening. Absence of private transport makes the parents accompany their children to Malls, eateries, parks and cinema halls. 

Even in the current pandemic, the children here do not miss any class as the parents are ever-equipped to give their wards the latest gadgets as required for virtual-classes. In case of families who may not have more than one laptops for their children, organisations like the Qatar Charity and ICBF have come forward  to provide one so that no one can be deprived of education.

I would therefore, address all my dear children here in Qatar, to take the most out of the advantages they are getting, and thank God as well as the Emir for giving their parents a chance to stay in this country.
