Ooredoo shares the joy of Ramadan by visiting children in hospitals

Additionally, Ooredoo held an Iftar feast for the children of the Kuwait Down Syndrome Center and their parents and the attending staff as part of its community outreach and corporate social responsibility, sharing the festive spirits of the Holy Month.
