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