Our volunteers and friends of The Dhaka Project are highly active in Dubai...
Yesterday, Samar Jodha and Turiya Todhunter organized a garage sale, helped by Merlyn at later stages, with the consequent fundraising of a very nice sum of 2010 Dirhams. Added to this Samar and Turiya carried loads of baggage to fill up the seventeen empty suitcases arrived from Dhaka in the afternoon.
Captain Alex kindly volunteered to take eleven suitcases full of clothes, toys, stationary, food, shoes... to Dhaka and brought them back empty, as well as other six empty suitcases awaiting in Dhaka to be brought back.
While all this labour was going on we received a call from Bexta Terney from JBEXTREME who offered us 100 cabin bags, clothes, stattionary... all brand new !!! We needed some folks to collect all these donations from the difficult to load cars area of Al Quoz. Like a 'squadron', our amazing team of Brazilian volunteers rapidly drove to JBEXTREME's warehouse in Al Quoz. Marcelo Taborda and Família Barros drove back and fro to collect all these donations in a proccess that lasted for 5 hours causing all to have lunch very late... in the afternoon .
And as to make this day yet more rewarding Marcelo Taborda donated 700 Dirhams to sponsor a child and became our customer for a moment he bought items worth of 100 Dirhams in our garage sale :) Família Barros donated 100 Dirhams and a friend who prefers to stay anonymous donated another 100 Dirhams.
Amazing!!! These same volunteers involved in all these activities yesterday and some others have recently fundraised tenths of thousand Dirhams in garage sales!
There are no words enough to express gratitude for all this hard work and the gift from Bexta Terney at JBEXTREME.
On behalf of The Dhaka Project children,... THANK YOU to all !
