Batelco Onboard for Melodic Meet 2012

Support for Bahrain’s Disabled Athletes

Mobilk - Batelco, Bahrain’s leading telecommunications provider has announced its support for one of the most popular events held annually to raise funds for Bahrain’s disabled athletes. The Batelco Melodic Meet 2012, which has been taking place for 20 years, will be held at the Indian School Auditorium on  December 14th. 

The event, featuring physically handicapped and able bodied performers, is being organised by Bahrain Disabled Sports Federation (BDSF) in association with Batelco and a number of leading Bahraini organisations. 

In a bid to show that physical disability cannot stop what a person can achieve, the BDSF will be bringing in an accomplished dancer who was born with only one leg. The dancer, Vandana V R, who has performed on many international stages, is proficient in a number of Asian dance styles. The Comedy Cousins, Babu Jose and Baiju Jose, playback singer Pradeep Palurthi, Bollywood singer Aglesh and female singer Sony Parod will also be performing at the event. BDSF tries to focus on the many extraordinary gifts that people with disabilities possess and highlight their talents. 

Batelco Group General Manager Ahmed Al Janahi said that Batelco was very pleased to link its name with the annual Melodic Meet.

“This very popular event raises significant funds to support Bahrain’s disabled athletes. We are 100% behind such a noble objective and we wish the organisers every success in achieving their goals,” said Mr. Al Janahi. 

BDSF Chairman Brigadier Sh. Ahmed Bin Salman Bin Daij Al Khalifa extended the committees gratitude to Batelco for their invaluable support. 

“The money we raise will support our athletes participation in international sports meets as well as help in organising local events.”

The entrance ticket for the Batelco Melodic Meet 2012, which doubles as a raffle ticket as well, is priced at BD1 and will be available at all leading supermarkets in the Kingdom. There are 20 prizes with the first prize being a Mitsubishi Lancer.
