KOC C&MD Sami Al-Rushaid recently received the Chairman of the Kuwait Blind
Association (KBA) Fayez Al-Azmi, who visited KOC and paid tribute to the Company for
taking the initiative to print a book titled: “From the Well to the Carrier” in Braille. Al-
Azmi said that the book will provide KBA with basic information about the oil industry.
During their meeting, Al-Azmi expressed his appreciation for KOC’s interest and
care for the blind community in Kuwait. For his part, Al-Rushaid stressed that this
segment of society deserves care and support from all Kuwaitis at all levels.
In a statement he made, Al-Azmi maintained that the book has been printed
in Arabic and English and can be distributed, at a later stage, to Arab and
foreign countries in order to provide the blind with information about the
mechanisms of production and the nature of the work that KOC engages in.
For his part, Manager of Public Relations and Information, Abdul Khaleq Al-
Ali, said that such an initiative, and other initiatives taken by the company, stem
from the Company’s commitment to fulfill its role in the development of society,
and to provide as many services as possible to different segments of society.
