My Story
As a supporter of Gulf for Good since 2021 I have been training for the marathon since January 2024 and completed the DXB half marathon in October this year too. After completing the London Marathon (virtually in Dubai in 2021) I have always wanted to complete the DXB one after calling the city my home since 2003. I hope to raise significant funds from my personal and business network and will be grateful for any donations received for this amazing cause and work that Gulf for Good do across the region for under privileged children around the world
CHARITY PROJECT:
PAY provides a safe and supportive environment where young people voluntarily participate and progress in a range of activities that contribute to their holistic development comprising of physical wellbeing, education and life skills. In so doing, P.A.Y. works towards building the fundamentals of citizenship and respect for human rights while fostering a sense of mutual responsibility for the benefit of the community, at both local and national levels. P.A.Y’s mission is to nurture the holistic development of Namibian youth, develop their critical reasoning skills and inculcate movement as lifestyle.
Project description: The project aims to strengthen the cycling, digital literacy and robotics project at P.A.Y while also extending it to reach Orange Babies centre in Agste Laan informal settlement in Otjomuise where PAY already has a football 4 life-skills project going on since 2021.
