QATAR Airways (QA), in collaboration with Qatar Charity (QC), has celebrated Eid Al Adha by distributing toys to more than 800 orphans at the Children's Living Center in the Reyhanli province of Hatay in Turkey.
The Children's Living Center, the largest NGO project caring for Syrian orphan children in the Arab and Islamic region, is an integrated city providing 55 residential villas, in addition to schools, gymnasiums, social halls, a mosque and a health centre, as well as plenty of green spaces. The centre also provides key services such as education, medical care and social services to the children of Reyhanli.
QA Senior Vice-President Marketing and Corporate Communications Salam al Shawa said:"Qatar Airways is pleased to partner with Qatar Charity and share the joy of Eid Al Adha with the children of the Children's Living Center in Hatay. As a global airline, we believe in supporting children around the world by providing them with the tools they need to thrive and grow. We are especially pleased to celebrate this special time of year with the Syrian children in Hatay, sharing with them these special gifts that will help them live a happier childhood."
Earlier this month, QA provided students at Kauthara Islamic School in Uganda with desks for their classrooms, supporting the learning of approximately 400 students as part of the award-winning airline's Corporate Social Responsibility programme.
QA has been a proud supporter and partner of the Education Above All Foundation through Educate A Child (EAC) since 2013. The airline encourages passengers to donate in support of the children through different methods, including online when booking a flight on QA website, as well as using the on-board donation envelopes that are collected by the cabin crew.
To inspire and excite its youngest passengers, Qatar's national carrier recently launched the Oryx Kids Club, offering specially-designed activity packs and meal boxes featuring the Oryx Kids Club mascots.
QA currently operates three weekly flights to Hatay, three daily flights to Istanbul's Sabiha G'f6k?§en Airport, 10 weekly flights to Istanbul Atat'fcrk Airport, three weekly flights to Adana f1'aaakirpa'baa Airport, a daily service to Ankaraf0's Esenbof2'f0a Airport and two weekly flights to both Antalya and Bodrum.
