Dawn Oconnor, Emirates Airline Crew organized and sponsored a walk in Scotland as a part of Fund Raising for The Dhaka Project. Though she couldn’t take part in the Walk , her mother Elaine with along her sister and friends had a great day supporting the fabulous project. T-Shirts and Banner (photo of Dawn with few children) was provided by Dawn herself. A total of 1,670 GB Pound was raised for The Dhaka Project. Her families, friends and neighbours have been very generous giving money for donations, baby items, clothing, toiletries, books etc. Dawn is also keen to arrange such program in near future.We appreciate the idea of Dawn and thank her for the mammoth task of arranging such a program. As Dawn is so proud to be a part of our project, we are more proud to have a person like her.
Dawn’s true inspiration will help The Dhaka Project to achieve its goal.

VOLUNTEERS' CONCERN

Donal McCharthy is a Dhaka Project volunteer since June 2005 . He has been permanently involved with the Project along these years helping on collecting kids' clothes, school uniforms and books and money to help the poorest rescued by TDP from the abject poverty in the slums of Dhaka.
The Project has come from the roots but year after year it has increased enormously having now 700 kids under its care as well as many of their families, what demands a huge budget.
As more help and donations are needed for the kids he has been busy networking asking for help not only from Irish Comunity in Dubai as usual until now, but also he's appealed for help from representatives in Dubai schools to start a campaign with the students.
The volunteers' group has grown up, having already many items available, thanks to Siog who has presented some good ideas too, and are now organising an appeal for used clothes at Rashid School for Boys (thanks to Clare and her students) while other (long term) collecting actions are running aiming the future old fashion items due to season changes but still a luxury for our kids at the Project.
Thanks a million to these RSB students who are working on behalf of our children.
Thanks to these volunteers, Donal, Siog and Clare who are organising efforts to help us.
A tremendous thank you to all parents and students who have offered their donations.

RUNNING THE MARATHON


Dubai has been running and running those last week in order to be ready for the Marathon that took place last friday. We will give you some feedback and input of the runners who dedicated their efforts for the Dhaka Project.
Maria sent from Dhaka, where she was running another kind of Marathon (having the new school ready by the 1st of Feb) ;-) best wishes and encouragement from the kids.

And we have decided that next year, we will have students and staff ready to run in Dhaka at least the 10 kms, in parallel to the Dubai Marathon!
