MUSCAT: Spar Oman marked the glorious occasion of Oman’s 49th National Day by hosting a special event and launching a charity drive in the presence of the management and staff at the Madinat Qaboos branch.

To commemorate the significant milestone, Spar Oman invited budding Omani doodle artists Shahad Al Riyamy and Manar Al Kindi to hold a live demonstration of their talent and flair.

The talented artists created a magnificent doodle art piece which has been put up at the entrance of Spar Oman’s Madinat Qaboos branch. The piece of art will be available for viewing for the next month.

In keeping with its social initiatives, Spar Oman launched its annual ‘National Collection Drive - Lend a Helping Hand in Feeding the Needy’ in collaboration with Dar Al Atta’a, Oman’s inclusive charity organisation. Held in line to match with the magnitude of National Day celebrations, the National Collection Drive also symbolises Spar Oman’s collective effort to serve communities and families in need. As part of the drive, Spar Oman has put up collection booths inside all Spar outlets across Oman. Spar Oman shoppers, who wish to contribute to this magnanimous cause, can donate preferred food products like rice, flour, long-life milk, coffee, tea wheat, cornflakes, cooking oil, dates and legumes at the collection both which will be handed over to Dar Al Atta’a at a later stage. Moreover, shoppers can donate pre-packed charity packs which are readily available in Spar Oman stores.

M. Sridhar, CEO, Spar Oman said, “We are particularly pleased to start our national collection drive in connection with the day that is close to our hearts. In a way, this campaign strengthens nationalist values among donors as they join forces to help others. Through this drive Spar Oman reiterates its social responsibility vision to fit in the society it operates in. We are committed to bettering the communities we operate in, and as part of these enduring efforts, we are proud to have partnered with Dar Al Atta’a. We hope to collect substantial items and hand over to Dar Al Atta’a.”

Thanking Spar Oman, Mariam Al Zadjali, chairperson, Dar al Atta’a said, “We are pleased to collaborate with Spar Oman who has once again taken up a noble initiative targeted towards the needy. We are certain that such acts will bring about a positive change in their lives.”
