Celebrating with parents and students on the commencement of a new academic school year IBQ contributed a total of QR100,000 that was used by DESS's management to build a 30m X 20 m quadrangle.
'We are delighted to continue to show our commitment to the communities in which we serve. IBQ is dedicated to supporting the educational community by promoting education and learning throughout Qatar,' commented Michael H. William, C.E.O of IBQ.
The management at DESS decided to use IBQ's contribution towards improving the functionality of the school premises. The idea to construct a large shaded courtyard area, now officially called 'the IBQ Quadrangle', was established in order to allow young students to enjoy the outdoors and increase outdoor activities without being drained by the morning heat.
IBQ has established its reputation over the years by building long-lasting relationships with its customers and the community it serves. Commenting on this partnership, Mr. Eddie Liptrot, Headteacher of DESS said "Our school has a long association with IBQ which is of great benefit to us both. Our working relationship offers a great example of how top organizations in Qatar can work closely with us to bring about the best possible learning environment for our children."
IBQ has consistently supported art, education and leadership initiatives, which have included the sponsorship of the Doha Players, Toastmaster Competitions, among others. In recent months, IBQ has also shown its enthusiasm for tomorrow's leaders by supporting various Qatar based university initiatives.
