Bank Sohar marks Eid with children at Royal Hospital

MUSCAT: As the entire nation celebrated Eid, Bank Sohar ensured that the day was made memorable for country’s children by showering them with special presents and festive joy.

Thus, as part of its consistent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives a team of volunteers from the bank took Eid gifts to the children’s ward at Royal Hospital where they distributed them to the children.

This initiative comes as a core aspect of the bank’s social outreach drive under its CSR campaign Sohar Al Atta.

Munira Abdulnabi Macki, GM of Human Resources & Corporate Support, Bank Sohar, said, “We are more than happy to celebrate Eid with children and to put a smile on their faces especially on such a special occasion. As a community oriented bank that deeply cares for children, we wanted to ensure that those children in hospitals did not miss out on the opportunity to share in Eid celebrations..The gesture is in line with our philosophy as a community oriented financial institution, whose primary goal is reaching out to those in need to provide assistance as well as to enrich their lives and to give back to our society.”

Bank Sohar’s magnanimous gesture lit up the faces of children as each of them received their gifts. In reaching out to them on a very important occasion, the bank helped inject joy and festive fun into their lives.

“Bank Sohar has always been a community-oriented organisation. It is great to see that our staff share our aspirations as an organisation. Furthermore, initiatives such as these provide a great opportunity for our staff to connect with the community and truly understand how rewarding charitable work can be. I would like to thank the members of our volunteer team for their contribution towards making this event a grand success and bringing joy to those admitted children,” added Munira.
