DOHA: Ooredoo staff recently took part in an educational community camp for children in partnership with Maktaba organisation.

The Not a Box camp which was sponsored by Ooredoo and is one of Maktaba’s educational programmes aimed at encouraging children of all ages to have a love of reading in order to achieve their academic intellectual and creative goals.

During the daylong activities at the camp Ooredoo staff visited art classes and story reading sessions about the potential of a simple box. The day aimed at inspiring children to contribute to their community with their natural curiosity and enthusiasm. At the end of the event each child had a piece of their own artwork to give to their parents.

Ooredoo is proud to sponsor the Not a Box Camp as it celebrates a child’s creativity and encourages them to develop their ideas individually and as a team.”

Ooredoo has recently signed a long-term partnership agreement with Maktaba and the companies have a shared vision to inspire children and their parents to fall in love with literature.
