IBQ and W Doha bring healthy Iftar to Rumeilah; Initiative is part of IBQ’s Do Good Deeds Campaign

On the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan, IBQ kick-started its annual “Do Good Deeds in the Month of Charity” campaign aimed at encouraging teamwork for the welfare of the community and volunteer support. Every year, IBQ’s Ramadan campaign comprises a series of community programmes and initiatives targeting different walks of the Qatari society. This Ramadan, IBQ is partnering with W Doha Hotel & Residences to bring healthy Iftar meals to Rumeilah Hospital. 

In line with its focus on youth and part of its ongoing corporate social responsibility through which IBQ sponsors or spearheads various societal initiatives, IBQ will be spreading its activities across Rumeilah Hospital and Dreimah Foundation for the third year in a row. 

The Do Good Deeds campaign began with the highly-awaited Garangao celebrations on August 10 where a festive gathering was held at the prestigious Qatar National Theatre with staff volunteering to distribute specially designed gifts to all children attending. IBQ staff continued with a visit to the pediatric ward at Rumailah Hospital with more gifts and cheers and a donation for the ward. On August 16, IBQ will be heading again to Rumeilah Hospital with W Doha Hotel & Residences to organize a special Iftar for the elderly and their families. W Doha will be providing a nutritional and balanced meal to cater to different medical cases while IBQ will be giving some necessities in gift bags to each of the patients. 

George Nasra, Managing Director of IBQ said: “We, at IBQ, are strongly committed to our community throughout the year and particularly during the month of philanthropy. We have continued our support to two key organizations in Qatar, Dreimah and Rumailah, with targeted activities. At IBQ, we are conscious corporate citizens and we have a solid long-term CSR campaign that we always adhere to as we feel that the time and efforts we invest in such endeavors are truly essential to engage with our society.” 

Safak Guvenc, General Manager of W Doha Hotel & Residences said: “We are very happy to be partnering with IBQ on such initiative. W Doha Hotel & Residences has always been a vanguard of philanthropic activities particularly during the Holy Month of Ramadan and it’s great to be on board IBQ’s Do Good Deeds campaign which is in line with our commitment to support our community. We have, for instance, organized an Iftar for Cabs on August 9 where a line-up of cab drivers have joined us for Iftar boxes and the Rumailah Iftar is a great continuation for what we have started.”
