Nakilat recently organised a bowling session with the visually impaired in co-operation with the Qatar Social and Cultural Center for the Blind (QSCCB).
Volunteers from Nakilat acted as guides and some were even 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 a sighted guide or guide rails. Nakilat Administration Director, Rashid Hamad Al Marri, said, “We are indeed very fortunate to be able to learn and experience, albeit a small portion, the challenges the visually impaired face.”
