Kuwait – 28 January 2010: Gulf Bank recently sponsored GUST’s “Alive 2010” event, at the campus’s Romanian theater in Mishref. The event was organized by GUST and the “Rockability” Magazine and dedicated to children with special needs.

The day included a talent show and many other fun filled activities. Hadeel Al-Fadhli from Gulf Bank, took the opportunity to talk about special needs and its role in society and how Gulf Bank has always played a key role in sponsoring events that aim to discover the creative side of special needs from an early age. The Bank also strongly recommended the need for all private and governmental organizations to participate in these kind of activities in order to further serve the country.

Nassour, Gulf Bank’s famous cartoon character and Gulf Bank representatives distributed gifts to the children.

The event is one among many special needs events that the Bank has sponsored, with the most recent sponsorship being the “Shabab Al-Khair” fun day for special needs at Souk Sharq Mall.

Gulf Bank is committed to supporting special education and encouraging people to succeed and realize their ambitions. The Bank’s dedication to promoting a more prosperous Kuwait stems out of its own commitment in being a financial institution that is socially dedicated.

Learning spaces incorporate latest advances in high technology

Gulf University for Science & Technology (GUST) is the first purpose-built private University campus built in Kuwait. It recently opened its doors to students for a �soft opening� in early 2008. Contained within the 40,000 m2 complex are 59 classrooms, 13 computer and science laboratories, and 153 faculty offices. Special attention has been given to the Learning Resources Center with its interactive library / Training Center and international standard conference facilities. The complex can accommodate some 3,400 students offering facilities such as indoor/outdoor cafes, food courts, meeting rooms, shops and wireless connectivity throughout the campus. A Fitness Center housing a gymnasium, health and activity clubs is located adjacent to the main building. The project�s design concept responds to the three distinct needs associated with any educational facility- the need to interact, the need to learn, and the need to gather. These needs have been associated with objects and spaces which have traditional connotations in an attempt to position this modern facility meaningfully within the richness of the local culture.
