Dear followers,
It’s been a month now that the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah has been approached by members of the community, very touched by the famine in Somalia but also; determined to make a change, with what they have.
Since the beginning of their support to this cause in Somalia, Dubai Acts 4 East African Drought shown commitment, dedication, hard work and passion for a cause that they fully believe and support.
A series of fund raising events have been organised in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah to raise awareness on the situation in Somalia. And also, to find solutions where any citizen could contribute his way.
This fund raising exercise started by generous donations from members of the Rotary Club, who were fully supportive of the project. Flea 4 Charity which is an initiative aiming at helping causes in the region was also a main driver.
The team of volunteers came across generous donors who made the difference. The project has been taken now to Egypt, where members of the Rotaract Heliopolis decided to follow the same concept and raise funds through a charity iftar. The money collected will also be given to the Red Crescent and support their humanitarian aid in Somalia.
This series of events culminated with a Charity Iftar at Qamardeen on Friday August 26, where all tickets have been sold out two days ahead of the event and over 200 guests were in attendance.
I’d like to end up that post by congratulating all the people involved in that initiative who made a difference. Dubai Acts 4 East African Drought created an impact and unveiled a harsh reality in the Horn of Africa, by focusing on the positive and acting rather than remaining a passive witness.
Well done guys!
