Good for you Alzainah Albabtain. Tell all about this to the young women at “Kuwait University Women’s Union.” Together as women, you can save Kuwait. US and other developed nations have their universities’ enrollment at 60:40 or even at times 70:30 female/male ratios.

Hands down for what you have started, your own ‘green revolution” of all places in Kuwait City. I was in Kuwait for three weeks in Jan-Feb 2013; It was dry wintery cold but I was informed that summer heat will feel like hell on earth with its wind with sand in your face.

So much wealth and opulent structures in Kuwait City including family home buildings which look ten times better than the Hollywood millionaires’ homes. So many villas with upto five expensive cars at the driveway and material inside the homes are all imports each costs four times what it would cost where it was made at Italy, Turkey, Germany, France and elsewhere.

I kept thinking some of that wealth could be directed at something wisely chosen and worthwhile for the future generations of Kuwait.
Teach the masses about the advantages of building small, manageable houses and perhaps start thinking about “going green” and converting some the empty areas in the city into vegetable gardens and other food producing projects and activities.

Kuwaiti government and rich individuals should start investing in their young people like this young woman who is growing her fruits and vegetables. For tertiary education, there is one national university; other schools need to be introduced, specially technical and world class vocational schools which money can buy. Learn from Malaysia.

UAE and other Gulf states (excluding Kuwait) are investing East Africa farmlands. The oil will run out in less than two generations. Kuwait needs real plans for its one million citizens and the service people who number more than three million residents.
