Doha: The novel coronavirus pandemic has caused global economic, social, and psychological turmoil. Its ramifications have greatly impacted our lives, adults and children alike. 

Although the adults of this world struggle to come to grips with the world’s new normal, it is truly the children who find themselves grappling to deal with these abrupt changes. Amid the pandemic, and in line with their social responsibility initiatives, Toys4Me has partnered with Global Shippers to deliver a number of gifts to children in quarantine that aim to help them develop healthy behavioural patterns and to enrich their lives. 

This initiative comes in accordance with the state of Qatar’s National Health Strategy. 

The gifts and toys delivered by Toys4Me were developed as a means of expanding the children’s mental and learning capabilities, and to help engage them in a productive manner, instead of wasting their time engaging in unproductive activities that weaken their mental and creative skills. 

“In line with our social responsibility, we are pleased to announce our partnership with Global Shippers, which will see us deliver mentally-engaging, and developmental gifts and toys to the children of this great nation,” said Ashraf Abu Issa, Chairman of Abu Issa Holding, and its subsidiary, Toys4Me. 

“These toys and gifts will not only alleviate some of the hardships felt by our children due to the current global pandemic, but it will also help entertain them, expand their mental and learning capabilities and engage them in a productive manner.”

The private sector has a great social responsibility to uphold, along with all the state’s other institutions that aim to limit the spread of the COVID-19 in the State of Qatar.
