Petra National Trust (PNT) is a Jordanian non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of the World Heritage Site of Petra. Since its inception in 1989, PNT has worked to bring together people in Jordan and abroad who are committed to that same goal.
HRH Prince Ra'ad bin Zeid, as president of the Board of Trustees, oversees the Trust's activities and guides PNT in the implementation of its mission and the fulfilment of its vision.
PNT implements its mission through conducting preservation projects and by raising awareness and advocacy.
Famous quotes containing the words national and/or trust:
“Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
