Bahrain continues to live on in the heart of young former resident Kimaya Kapoor, who recently delivered a presentation on Durrat Al Bahrain at her school in Canada where she now resides, writes Melissa Nazareth.
The 12-year-old Grade Seven student attending Dr David R Williams Public School in Oakville, Ontario, even has a favourite ‘Bahrain T-shirt’, which she often wears to school.
She wore it on the day of the assignment too, for which she scored 100 per cent.
Having lived on the island with her family for 10 years before migrating in 2019, she wanted to bring alive her love for Bahrain.
When the project was announced at her school, she decided to choose ‘Durrat Al Bahrain’ based on her memories of the place from when she lived in the kingdom. Durrat is the third-largest artificial island after Northern City and Diyar Al Muharraq Islands.
“I researched about Durrat Al Bahrain and prepared a write-up for the presentation. I wanted to choose something about Bahrain, and I remembered the islands,” the former Juffair resident told GulfWeekly. “What I miss the most is the food and the lifestyle,” she added.
