Addressing a crowded press conference at the Disabled Children’s Society (DCS) hall, Prince Sultan, who is also the chairman of the DCS’ board of trustees, said, “We can’t understand the courage of this man, who climbed the highest peak.”
Prince Sultan, who has the distinction to be the first Arab and Muslim astronaut to go into space, also presented Al-Zuman a gift.
The press conference was attended by Bandar ibn Osman Al-Saleh, member of the DCS board of trustees, Awad Al-Ghamdi, DCS secretary-general, Sultan Al-Bazie, chief executive officer of Attariq Communications, and Abdulmohsen Al-Yahya, general manager of Kudu fast food chain. Attariq Communications and Kudu were the main sponsors of Al-Zuman’s expedition.
After the conference, Al-Zuman, a PR strategist and graduate of Oregon State University who works for Attaiq Communications, toured DCS facilities and met children there.
