have concentrated on actively contributing to education, health and<br />
community programs," commented John Hoholick, President of<br />
ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Kuwait Limited. "When we<br />
were approached by the British School of Kuwait, which also acts as<br />
the agent for WSDC, to sponsor a member of their debate league we<br />
were happy to learn more about their initiatives. After meeting Ascia<br />
Al-Farraj, captain of the Kuwait <strong>Schools</strong>' <strong>Debating</strong> League (KSDL) and<br />
Emma Bowie Director of KSDL we saw their commitment to the<br />
league and we knew that this was an important project to support."<br />
"During our stay in Washington D.C., we were involved in probably<br />
the most intense and competitive school event in the world. At this<br />
year's competition 41 teams have registered for the 2008 WSDC. As<br />
well as competing against other nations, the KSDL represented their<br />
country at several official functions where they were called upon to<br />
meet with ambassadors and other dignitaries. The whole experience<br />
was an unforgettable one for the team. It truly is a life-changing<br />
event, and I would like to thank ExxonMobil for the generosity that<br />
they have shown in support of our team." commented Emma Bowie,<br />
Director of the Kuwait <strong>Schools</strong>' <strong>Debating</strong> Championship. "It's safe to<br />
say that our team did an excellent job, and I hope we get more<br />
students to join us in the future."<br />
ExxonMobil has a long history of supporting and improving<br />
educational programs. In all countries, basic education is necessary to<br />
spur development and economic growth. In 2007, ExxonMobil<br />
directed more than $70 million to education worldwide.<br />
