Trip to Dubai Museum and lunch cruise puts a smile on children's faces

Dubai, March 26, 2007: As part of its corporate social responsibility, ENOC recently tied up with Human Appeal International (HAI), a leading NGO, to host a day-trip for visiting orphans in Dubai.

ENOC arranged a full-day outing for 39 orphans to witness Dubai's sights, which included a visit to the Dubai Museum and a lunch cruise coordinated by Dream Days. Aged between 10-17 years, the group comprised 16 girls and 23 boys from nine countries across the world, which included Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Sudan, Senegal, India, Bosnia, Kosova and Kyrgyzstan.

Commenting on the initiative, Khalid Hadi, ENOC Group Brand and Marketing Manager said: "We feel greatly honoured to have worked alongside HAI to host these children for a day and show them around the city. These children have had a challenging start to life and we hope initiatives such as these help to put a smile on their faces."

HAI promotes sustainable and social development by working with local communities through relief and development programmes. The NGO also seeks to improve the quality of life for underprivileged communities through education, health and social development.
