Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain:

Global Banking Corporation B.S.C (c) (GBCORP) is actively supporting the efforts of the Alia Centre which is part of the Bahrain Society for Children with Behavior and Communication Disorders, as they implement HINI prevention measures. GBCORP’s significant donation to this stellar effort is part of the corporation’s ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.

Health authorities in the Kingdom have undertaken comprehensive measures as well as major educational campaigns to minimise the spread of the flu virus. Commenting on their support and donation for the flu prevention project by Alia Centre, A.Rahman Al Jasmi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director at GBCORP said, “The flu pandemic is a cause of concern and raising awareness is the key to prevention. While the Government has taken all possible precautionary measures to minimise the spread and impact of the disease, it’s our duty as a community to ensure that there is greater alertness and precaution among high risk groups. Our continuous relationship with the Alia Centre motivated us to lend our support and resources to help the centre spread knowledge about the flu among their students. The Alia Centre is doing an admirable service by educating children on this very important issue.”

GBCORP’s relationship and support to the Alia Centre of the Bahrain Society for Children with Behavioral and Communication Difficulties is an ongoing commitment. The Corporation has undertaken a number of initiatives to support the centre, such as donating part of the profits of events through a lead sponsorship agreement with the Bahrain 1 team and also sponsoring the global conference on Autism.

The Bahrain Society for Children with Behavioral and Communication Difficulties promotes lifelong access and opportunity for individuals with behavioral and communication difficulties, and their families. “With support from generous donors such GBCORP, the Alia Center can successfully put efforts to offer exemplary care to our students. It is for this reason we offer our sincere and humble gratitude to all who have given of themselves for us,” said Somaya Hussein, Vice president of The Bahrain Society for Children with Behavioral & Communication Difficulties.
