Yemeni children's wired glasses sold for more than two million riyals

Glasses made of metal wires were sold to a displaced Yemeni child in the Yemeni governorate of Ma'rib for two million and five hundred Yemeni riyals, equivalent to about 3800 US dollars.

The wired glasses were sold at a public auction by Yemeni photographer Abdullah Al-Jaradi, after an auction that lasted more than 24 hours, worth 2.5 million Yemeni riyals, while keeping the door open for personal donations.

Al-Jaradi said in a post on his Facebook: “The glasses of the child Muhammad were purchased by Osama Al-Qusaibi, the general manager of the Masam Project for demining in Yemen.

Al-Gosaibi, who bought the glasses, stated that he entered the auction of glasses for the displaced child Muhammad in the name of Masam Project, pointing out that the purpose of this auction is purely humanitarian and is added to the balance of this project, which came to the Yemenis as a place of hope and an outlet for giving.

Al-Jaradi had opened the auction of metal glasses with a Facebook post in which he called on those who wish to take a picture with the glasses for an amount of 1000 Yemeni riyals, or about $4 per photo, and allocate the proceeds for the displaced child and two of his friends, to buy clothing for the feast.
