The campaign will be a community carnival which will include games, henna/face painting, horse riding, magic show and sale of food and other items and raffle draw. It will also see talks by inspirational speakers. All funds collected will be given to AEICD. Titled, ‘Growing together in the community’ the campaign is part of a global initiative held across 130 countries that helps communities unlock their potential for growth.

“On December 7, our people will help our community by spending time at the Al Aman Unit. The staff at Grant Thornton Oman are proud to share this day with the children,” said Nasser al Mugheiry.
