DHL Express, a division of Deutsche Post providing international express mail services, marked World Environment Day by planting a garden at Saudi-Bahraini Society for the Blind in Manama.

Twenty-six Bahrain-based DHL employees with staff from Nass Landscapes helped create the garden in the children's courtyard to enhance a peaceful learning environment.

The outreach project was initiated by DHL infrastructure manager Helen Edwards. "Everyone worked hard to make this garden a special place for the children to enjoy," she said.

A commemorative palm tree was also planted at the DHL hub in Muharraq at an event attended by DHL Express Bahrain general manager Stephen Duff, who sponsored the day.-TradeArabia News Service
