Nakilat recently organised a bowling session for the visually impaired in co-operation with the Qatar Social and Cultural Center for the Blind. Volunteers from Nakilat acted as guides, some of them were blindfolded during the session to better appreciate the challenge of bowling without the sense of sight. Bowling is one of the few sports that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, and blind bowling has proven to be very popular with the use of guide rails. 
Nakilat Administration Director Rashid Hamad al Marri said:"We are indeed very fortunate to be able to learn and experience, although in a small portion, the challenges the visually impaired face and how admirably they overcome these in their daily lives. This gathering of Nakilat employees and those from the Qatar Social and Cultural Center for the Blind has been a wonderful opportunity to promote inclusivity and give back to society. Nakilat is also committed to giving back to the community through its various outreach programmes outlined within its corporate social responsibility (CSR) pillars of community, health, education and environment."
Qatar Social and Cultural Center for the Blind Chairman Faisal Mohammed al Kooheji, has been oversee the activities of the centre since 2012. He said,"I am very pleased that Nakilat has taken the initiative to engage with our community. This event allows those of us who are visually impaired to socialise outside our regular circle and is significant to our growth. It is a form of encouragement for us to soar high even without the gift of sight, and that we are not forgotten by society."
