It has been one week now that we returned to the UAE and as difficult as it was to adapt again to the "normal" life, the feedback from the local community was overwhelming!
With our blog reaching slowly but surely 2000 followers from 10 different countries, we are convinced that there is a lot of interest out there for charity work.
Thanks and we'll keep you up to date!
The media in Abu Dhabi are extremely supportive and eager to learn about the story. We sincerely hope that many readers learn about this project and if there is only ONE person amongst them who donates to the orphanage, we feel that raising awareness in this way was worth it.

With all this enthusiasm from within and outside our hotel, we have decided to donate the funds which will be raised in the next charity flea market (12th of May) as well as the September one to the "Glorious Orphanage". The "no-email day" funds will also benefit the kids again.
We are not sure yet whether we will send another "task force team" to Tanzania later this year or just giving the amount to Lujan Mourad (Fundraising Director of Glorious Orphanage UAE) who will fly to Arusha in August.
Whatever we decide, we hope that our efforts paired with future media publications will drive additional interest from individuals or corporations towards this topic. We will keep posting media articles (expecting Khaleej Times and Friday Magazine soon), as well as the further development on our fundraising activities for the cause.
If anybody would like to get in contact with Ms Mourad (for information or donations), please feel free to contact her on lujan.mourad@gloriousorphanage.com or contact us directly.
