Action Care Gala at the Ritz Carlton

On November 14th, 2011, Action Care hosted a gala at the Ritz Carlton, DIFC. Over 500 guests were in attendance and enjoyed an evening of fine dining, live entertainment, auctions and prizes. As a result of this Gala event, we have been able to send support to sixteen needy causes internationally. A heartfelt 'thank you’ to all those who made this event possible through their partnership and support.

I must start by saying that I was very hesitant to participate and be a volunteer as I have never been involved in something like this. But doing so has totally changed my thinking. It opened my eyes to see that it was fun being surrounded by children who are so enthusiastic in wanting to learn so much more of not just a language but also interacting with us, all from totally different cultures and background. Yes, I am so glad that I did volunteer, even if I have not made a great impact on their lives, they definitely left me walking out that night with a smile on my face and sweet memories that I will carry with me for a long time. Thank you Action Care for giving me this opportunity.
