Gulf Bank launches 2014 Ramadan Program
Kuwait- 27 June, 2014: Gulf Bank has announced its extensive program of special activities that will be held throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan. These activities aim at shedding light on the true Ramadan spirit and celebrating this special time of the year with the local community.
For the 8th consecutive year, Gulf Bank in coordination with KAACH will be distributing Girgai'an bags to kids and their families in various hospitals. These hospitals include: Ibn Sina, Jahra, Farwaniya, Zain, NBK hospital, Al Razi and Amiri. During these visits, children will be treated to a variety of entertainment including: cartoon characters, face painting, hair braiding, henna, singing traditional songs and a magic show.
Gulf Bank will be sponsoring the Al Kharafi Activity Kids Center's annual Girgai'an event for the 6th consecutive year. The event will take place at the Center in Mishref where the Bank will participate by distributing girgai'an bags to the children, as well as entertaining them throughout the evening.
The Bank will also sponsor Iftar for needy families through Mabbarat Al-Rahma Al Khairiya, who will be providing orphans across Kuwait with Girgai'an, Ediya and new clothes for Eid.
Every year Gulf Bank shares the joy of Ramadan with the community through a special TV commercial, which will be shown from the first day of the Holy Month of Ramadan. The Bank will also launch two social media competitions utilizing its TV commercials; the first will be from 1 July until 6 July where Gulf Bank followers are encouraged to share their Ramadan experiences and decorative themes for the Holy Month. The second competition will be from 12 July until 15 July, where participants should post a video sharing their girgai'an experiences using Gulf Bank's TVC songs. Winners from each competition will receive a prize. Those who wish to enter Gulf Bank's social media competition can do so through the Bank's Instagram account @Gulf_Bank, or through the Facebook page: www.e-gulfbank.com/facebook.

In addition to the external activities, Gulf Bank has organized an internal program for its employees, who will enjoy a staff ghabqa and a special Ramadan gift.
Gulf Bank has always been committed to proactively giving back to the community as even the smallest gesture can make a difference therefore the Bank has organized the "Pay it Forward" initiative as part of its pre-Ramadan package to staff. This initiative will encourage each employee to share the blessings of the Holy Month with someone in need by giving them an Iftar voucher from Gulf Bank.
Gulf Bank's Ramadan initiatives serve to reflect the spirit of compassion amongst the society, and to provide moral support to various underprivileged segments in the community. On this blessed occasion, Gulf Bank would like to convey its sincere congratulations and best wishes to the Amir of the State of Kuwait, His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and His Highness the Prime Minister, Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah.
