GULF International Bank (GIB) recently held an event for 29 children of the bank's employees, ages 2 to 12 years, who visited their parent's office in Dhahran at GIB KSA Head Office. This initiative comes as part of GIB's efforts to help children understand what their parents do at work while they are at school, and to help them in their career choices as they mature. During the occasion, the children were given the opportunity to see where their parents worked, what they do during the day, as well as to meet their parents' colleagues. A photo booth was also set up and an arts and crafts gathering organized, where children had the opportunity to paint on photo frames with their photograph as a souvenir from their day at the bank. The event falls under GIB's new ç ‘WAGIB', in association with GIB's Social committee which aims to support local communities. GIB is owned by the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is the majority shareholder. GIB is a pan-GCC universal bank that specializes in corporate and investment banking and has a growing retail footprint. In addition to its main subsidiaries, London-based Gulf International Bank (UK) Ltd., and Riyadh-based GIB Capital LLC, it has branches in London, New York, Abu Dhabi, Dhahran, Riyadh and Jeddah with representative offices in Dubai and Beirut.— SG
