OOREDOO yesterday announced that it will once again sponsor Qatar Diabetes Association ‘Al-Bawasil Camp’ for children with diabetes in 2017.

The 2017 camp, which is held under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, is the seventeenth event of its kind.

In previous years, Ooredoo has helped support the event by providing entertainment through its cheeky mascots the Alrabaa, or by advertising the great work the camp does to teach children how to cope with diabetes and reduce the negative repercussions diabetes might bring. 

This year, Ooredoo has been named official telecommunication sponsors of the event.

Fatima Sultan Al Kuwari, Director Community & Public Relations, Ooredoo said: “Ooredoo believes in enabling children to grow to best of their abilities, which is why we are proud to support the camp’ to help educate children on how to deal and treat their illness. The goal of the camp is not just about education, but to enable these children a chance to live a normal life and enjoy a week of fun – something Ooredoo tries to bring Qatar through our sponsorships and events often.”
