On the one hour a day for reading initiative, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) hosted the Emirati writer Mr. Ali Abu Al Reesh, one of the most prominent Emirati writers of today. He composed many novels, two dramas and prose poetry. One of his most remarkable novels is called Al-A’tiraf (The Confession) that won an award of the most important hundred Arabic novels of the century. Abu al-Reesh has 18 years of journalism work experience in “Al Ettihad” newspaper, and has issued several collections of stories including notable titles such as "the Message" and "the Peace Islands".
During the event, the writer and TRA staff addressed one of the important books entitled "Zayed's moral Personality", which reviews the life of the late H. H. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE and the man behind its prosperity. The book goes through the most important virtues of the founding Father and his charitable works, in addition to significant historical moments in his life, starting from initiating the idea of the Union, to the great achievements and quantum leaps achieved under his leadership at all economic, social and cultural levels.
The one hour a day for reading aims to encourage staff to expand their knowledge, complementing the successful efforts by the TRA in the month of reading in line with the vision and guidance of the UAE wise leadership in this regard.
In this context, H.E.

It is also part of the UAE's celebration of the month of reading in March of each year, with the aim of establishing the importance of reading and affirming its role in enriching the culture and knowledge of the staff in various fields. This initiative is part of the TRA’s many initiatives and efforts, which led to winning the award of the best federal entity that encourage its staff to read at the UAE Pioneers Award.
