The Ministry of Social Development recently concluded a paddle championship aimed at promoting teamwork and healthy living among its employees. The event brought together staff from various departments and facilities within the ministry for a series of competitive matches.

Organized under the patronage of Dr. Abdullah bin Hamoud Al-Harthi, undersecretary for social affairs for persons with disabilities, the championship sought to foster social interaction and strengthen professional bonds through sport. Participants demonstrated strong competitive spirits while also embracing the opportunity to enhance cooperation and camaraderie within the workplace.

The initiative aligns with broader efforts by the ministry to encourage employee wellness and improve work quality by integrating team sports into the organizational culture. At the event’s closing ceremony, winners were formally recognized for their individual skills and team performances. The gathering also served to motivate continued involvement in sports and social activities among ministry employees.
