CHANGING THE WORLD
IS A COMMUNITY EFFORT!

Qatalum Sponsors the Qatar Paralympic
Committee at the Special Needs Sports Festival

Supporting the community and
people from all walks of life is at
the core of Qatalum’s values. In
support of all the constituents of the
Qatari community, Qatalum offered
its support as the sponsor for the
Special Needs Sports Festival hosted
by the Qatar Paralympic Committee
(QPC).
The Festival aims to assist those
with special needs by helping them
integrate with the community at
large. It also encourages them to
participate in sporting activities and
empowers them to gain a sense
of achievement through sports. As
such, the participants will be able
to gain self-confidence and improve
their physical performance at the
same time.
The main signs of nation
development include the growth
of crucial constituents of the
community – likewise, Qatalum
aims to improve the integration
of people with special needs, in
the Qatari community. Moreover,
Qatalum also wishes to highlight
the participants’ ability to challenge
their disability, thanks to their
perseverance and persistence in life.
As a proud sponsor of the events,
Qatalum not only supported the
festival and contributed to the
School’s Olympic Program for
mentally handicapped students,
but also honored champions who
deservedly won medals in various
championships.
