Believing that schools free from bullying is not impossible Amman, April 2018 – Aligned with its belief that securing a stable and secure school environment for the country’s students is key to building a conscious generation capable of leading the future,  Markazia Toyota has pledged its support for an anti-bullying campaign, which began on 5 April, 2018, headed by Jordanian artist, Aziz Maraka, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the ‘Madrasti’ initiative – one of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah  initiatives – with the aim of eradicating bullying in schools. Through its sponsorship of this campaign, Makazia Toyota seeks to help children in overcoming the challenges they face by transforming these challenges into opportunities for awareness and growth, by providing them with the necessary tools and knowledge to deal with negative phenomena such as bullying. This falls in line with the Toyota Motor Corporation’s slogan ‘Start Your Impossible’, which it launched last year with the purpose of encouraging individuals worldwide to achieve their ambitions and go beyond obstacles. As part of the campaign, Aziz Maraka visits schools, utilizing his music and inspirational songs to encourage students to support, accept and empathize with each other, no matter their differences. Additionally, the campaign features a ‘pledge wall’ where students will stamp their hands, under the inscription, “I pledge to help and encourage my fellow students, though they may be different from me and I will support those who need me. #Anti-bullying #NoToBullying.” Commenting on the campaign, Nadim Haddad, General Manager of  Markazia – the sole distributor of Toyota, Lexus and Hino trucks in Jordan, said, “Childhood is a crucial time where a person’s personality is cultivated, and it’s also the time when they gain human values and form their view of themselves and the world around them. Ultimately, nurturing a child means nurturing the whole community and changing it for the better. In light of this, we decided, as a Jordanian company that seeks to leave a positive mark on the local community, to contribute to the anti-bullying campaign, which will help our children overcome the challenges associated with bullying and to start the impossible, step by step, to eliminate this detrimental phenomenon in our schools.”
