Marking the middle of the Holy Month of Ramadan, female employees from Oman Oil Marketing Company (omanoil) celebrated Qaranqasho with more than 170 children at Al Nahdha Hospital, The Royal Hospital and the Armed Forces Hospital in Muscat.  

Observed on the 14th night of Ramadan, Qaranqasho is a joyous social event, where children from neighboring communities go door to door chanting special rhymes to get sweets and candy. Realizing that many hospitalized children will not be able to join in the celebrations this year, omanoil staff took Qaranqasho to these hospital wards accompanied by a fun rabbit impersonated character, distributing gifts and candy, while providing entertainment for everyone during the memorable visit. 

Dedicating its resources to be an agent of change for the socio-economic development of the country, omanoil has pioneered various social initiatives throughout the Sultanate over the years, coming together with communities to make a difference.
