(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Ooredoo Group companies have reached out to their communities this month with a series of special initiatives designed to share the spirit of Ramadan.
While the activities varied significantly across Ooredoo Group's markets in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia, they shared a common spirit of community engagement and were made possible by the support of volunteers.
'During the holy month, our employees always come together to support charitable activities, community programmes and sporting events, Ooredoo Group CEO Sheikh Saud bin Nasser al-Thani said.
'This year has seen the highest number of volunteers step forward to take part in community initiatives, reflecting the spirit of Ooredoo during Ramadan, he stressed.
