Today was the first day of the morning assembly with the new uniforms sponsored by Emirates Foundation.The children were so happy! They rarely get new clothes.... It has been quite a "marathon" to get everything done properly. The trousers arrived with single stitches and no elastics so we had to send them back. The size were not appropriate, They were the wrong T-Shirts, wrong sweaters (thanks God Winter is gone!)...It is so hard to get acceptable quality here! We spend a lot of time explaining what is an acceptable quality and what is not! What a waste of energy, what a lesson of patience......
The Dhaka Project is an organisation which provides free education, health care and community support for nearly 500 children from the slums of Dhaka. The project is run entirely on donations. Please visit our website for more information.
OUR MAIN SUPPORTER

Without them and my fellow working colleagues such as pilots, cabin crew, administration team, management team and everyone belonging to the family of Emirates Airline and Emirates Foundation, The Dhaka Project wouldn't have taken off to such great hights!
From the bottom of of our hearts, THANK YOU !
