Atef Al-Mashaqbeh.

Al-Tweiny explained that “Our first visit to the university indicated that there were many facilities that were in need of maintenance and needed development and support from the people of goodness. Today, we see what is heartening about this achievement in numbers, and this confirms the keenness of the university's administration and staff to preserve the donations and money that were employed in the required and appropriate manner. We still aspire to more cooperation with the university in the future in the process of development and modernization that accompanies its progress."

Prof. Al-Mahasneh, praised the efforts of the Kuwaiti Society with the university, expressing the deep thanks of the university's administration, students and staff for their generous hands extended to the university's spaces and their great efforts to contribute with students with special needs. He indicated that such facilities improve the quality of the service and the educational, health and moral level, especially for people with special needs, looking forward to more support in the future for projects that serve the university.

Prof. Al-Bari said that the dream of people with disabilities has been realized and that it has become a tangible reality on the ground, praising the efforts of the Society that distinguished Al al-Bayt University from other universities.

Dr. Khaled Jumaa, in turn, referred to the role of the university in supporting the activities and objectives of the organization, stressing the importance of fostering persons with disabilities to lead their lives without trouble, which facilitates the provision of better services by the university for this category of people.

Prof. Al-Jamal indicated that the Faculty of Science at the university needs to develop its absorptive capacity, especially in the teaching laboratories, by addressing the problems in the infrastructure that serve students and researchers.

Director of the Maintenance and Engineering Department stated that the project contributed to the rehabilitation of the university's spatial environment to integrate people with special needs into the student body and make it an element of attraction for new students, reviewing statistics on the number of sites that have been developed.

It is worth noting that the opening of these facilities for people with disabilities at the university comes in light of the memorandum of understanding concluded between the university and the organization with the aim of maintaining the university's health facilities and making facilities that facilitate the movement of the disabled inside on campus, and to contribute to students with disabilities practicing activities that suit them.

At the end of the visit, in which the guest delegation headed by Al-Twaini was briefed on all the sites that had been updated and developed, honorary shields were exchanged between the guest delegation and the university, and a video presentation documenting all stages of work and showing the size of the project's achievement was shown, where the guest expressed his great admiration for the achievement accomplished.​
