Riffa Views’ donation gives mobility a boost

Today, Riffa Views – as part of its title sponsorship for the second year running of the “Riffa Views Shaikh Faisal Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Memorial Trophy” and in support of the Bahrain Mobility International (BMI) – donated a specialist wheelchair to Ahmed Jaffar, a young adult with special needs.

The wheelchair is highly manoeuverable, durable and easy to carry – all features which can greatly improve the quality of life of a person with limited mobility. Riffa Views’ commitment to this charitable cause is in line with its long-term objective to encourage the youth of Bahrain in sports, education and social development.

Richard Browning, CEO of Riffa Views said: “Although the ‘Riffa Views Shaikh Faisal Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Memorial Trophy’ is based around a golf event, I am sure that many companies and individuals would wish to add their support, even if they do not participate in golf. We would like to encourage those people to contribute in a way that adds support to the event and provides something tangible for all those with special needs.”

“The majority of adults and children who attend BMI are in desperate need of a specialized wheelchair, not only to give mobility, but to stop their condition from getting worse. In addition to our overall support for BMI, we have contributed BD1,000 to purchase one of these wheelchairs for one of the young adults. Similar contributions would provide wheelchairs for the other kids or adults at the centre, so if golf is not your chosen sport, then please donate in support of the ‘Riffa Views Shaikh Faisal Bin Hamad Al Khalifa Memorial Trophy’ and let BMI purchase a wheelchair in your name.”
