NBK organizes events for children at its hospital

KUWAIT: National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) continued organizing initiatives for the month of May designed especially for children undergoing therapy at its Specialty Hospital and Stem Cell unit. The May plan comprised several fun - educative activities as the healthy way of brushing teeth in collaboration with ‘Asnan Tower’, a slime activity, one of the trendiest game and children’s favorite and an activity consists of building their own wooden toy by knowing the forms of structure in collaboration with Makers Academy, a part of the international exhibition ‘Makers Faire’.

The fun events come as part of a program designed to engage with children and runs all year long. Children and the Hospital’s team took part in those activities and fun workshops to end the spring season.

“NBK is keen on being part of the children’s happy moments during their treatment,” said Joanne Al-Abdul Jaleel, NBK Public Relations Officer. “The activities were marked by awareness and intellectual challenges. We are aware of the importance of providing a healthy environment for children to be able to stand for their treatment strong and happy. We are proud seeing our children happy every week we visit them for a new initiative”.

“We take great pride today in integrating a program designed to ensure the best care for the sick children and their families,” noted Abdul Jaleel. “We teamed up with the medical staff to make the children and their families happy.

NBK also organized story telling sessions and movie

nights for children at the Specialty Hospital and Stem Cell Therapy Unit during the month of April, as part of a funactivity program that was launched to support children while they get their treatment and extends all the year round. NBK Children’s Hospital stands as a landmark for the bank’s social initiatives towards children. NBK expanded the hospital’s capacity and opened the only Stem Cell Therapy Unit for children in Kuwait, further expanding its hospital’s abilities to treat children with cancer and blood diseases.

NBK’s social initiatives reflect the bank’s high sense of duty and responsibility towards the community. It is a well rooted tradition that has been carried out by NBK each year in its efforts to continuously have an active role in Kuwait`s society.
