More than 50 toys were collected by 30 staff members at Bahrain Gas for the GDN ‘Make a Child Happy’ Ramadan Appeal.
Organised in co-ordination with Maqabah Charitable Society, which first spearheaded the campaign in 1998, the community initiative aims to collect toys, game consoles and video games to distribute to 20,000 underprivileged, orphaned and sick children as Eid Al Fitr gifts.
“We are so happy to be part of this lovely initiative by the GDN and Maqabah Charitable Society,” said Bahrain Gas Projects manager Rithin Raj who co-ordinated the drive among his colleagues.
“It’s a very genuine gesture – putting a smile on a child’s face this festive season is the best payback we could do for the world. Good job team GDN!”
So far, more than 12,500 toys out of the target of 20,000 have been collected.
GDN readers and visitors to GDNonline.com are invited to help bring more smiles and receive a cheerful welcome from security officers Anthony and Ibrahim at the GDN’s East Riffa base or drop off your donated gifts to their colleagues at the GDN’s commercial head office in Hoora.
