Event demonstrates company’s continuing efforts to give back to the community

DUBAI, UAE, August 1, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- August 01, 2013

Jotun Paints, one of the world’s leading producers and distributors of paints and powder coatings, recently hosted a special Iftar for more than 20 orphans coming from the Dubai Charity Association (DCA), at the Al Boom Tourist Village in Dubai. The children were treated to a specially prepared Iftar across a spectacular view of the creek. Jotun employees present at the event helped entertain the orphans with interactive activities like games, a magician and clown show. Being true to the company’s core value, ‘CARE,’ the children also received gift vouchers as an early Eid treat.

According to the company’s senior officials, the event is part of Jotun’s activities for the Holy Month of Ramadan and demonstrates their continuing efforts to give back to the local community. The DCA sponsors the orphans based on the teachings of the Holy Quran and Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and provides financial assistance, schooling and other social needs. Aside from its UAE based centres, DCA also maintains and operates orphanages in Burkina Faso, Ghana and Indonesia.

“The Holy Month of Ramadan is a special time of giving back the blessings you have received and helping those who are in need. We are glad that we were able to bring smiles on the faces of these orphans and join them for an evening of good food, lively entertainment, fun games and some gifts that they can bring home. I would like to thank the Jotun employees who joined us today and Dubai Charity Association for allowing us to spend time with these kids. We hope that we have inspired and helped them learn the spirit of helping others,” concluded Sushanth Salian, HR Manager, Jotun Paints.
