Jotun repaints blind kids' school
Manama, March 17, 2009
Jotun Paints repainted a blind children’s nursery school in Bahrain, using ‘Fenomastic’ high quality paint, as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program.
The program reached out to visually-impaired children at the ‘Bahrain Friendship Society for the Blind’ and was organised in partnership with the American Mission Hospital, an organisation that aims to serve Bahrain’s local community.
Established in 1981, the ‘Bahrain Friendship Society for the Blind’, extends training and developmental needs to the country’s visually impaired sector.
Since the interiors of the nursery school had never been repainted since its construction, Jotun immediately offered to provide one of its best quality paints and the necessary materials towards this cause.
“Not only did we get to brighten up their smiles through this campaign, but at the same time, we ensured a cleaner and healthier environment for them,” said Biren Arora, branch manager, Jotun Bahrain.
As one of the pioneering members of the Emirates Green Building Council and an active advocate of corporate social responsibility, Jotun Paints continues to develop and market products complying with the highest environmental standards.
With over 71 companies and 40 production facilities spanning across the globe, its extensive use of eco-friendly production methods and its line of environmentally-safe products reflects its longstanding commitment to sustainable development, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
