Z-Corp’s holds get-together for elderly citizens in Bidiya
MUSCAT: To create awareness among the community to inculcate love, respect and care for senior citizens, The Zubair Corporation (Z-Corp)’s ‘collaboration team’ organised a gettogether for the elderly in cooperation with the elderly friends group at Bidiya. The gathering was attended by elderly citizens in the Al Sharqiyah Governorate and members of the Omani Association for Elderly Friends. The get-together encompassed many activities and programmes in honour of the senior citizens.
The meeting provided an opportunity for the elderly citizens to network with fellow community members and others. The aim of hosting the programme was to inspire, engage and encourage senior citizens to continue playing an active role in society.
A group of employees of Z-Corp and its subsidiaries called the ‘collaboration team’, who plan community special initiatives, executed this special gettogether for senior citizens. In the past, the team has organised a variety of programmes such as social activities and community support events for the benefit of the elders across the governorates of the Sultanate.
Omani Association for Friends has been working Elderly towards the welfare of senior citizens in coordination with private and public sector companies. The objective of the group is to work towards the physical, mental and social well-being of senior citizens as well as enhance the quality of their life. The get-together also aimed to highlight the activities of the Omani Association for Elderly Friends from the different governorates of the Sultanate.
Accentuating that the Z-Corp management is pleased to be associated with such a meaningful initiative, Ibrahim al Salmi, AGM Corporate communication, The Zubair Corporation said, “We applaud our ‘collaboration team’ for trying to create a bond between the young and the old. Through events such as these we propose to recognise the role and standing of the elderly in society. We are thrilled to honour our senior citizens who have contributed to the welfare of the society in innumerable unique ways.”
