Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority Teams Up with Manchester City FC to Create Extraordinary Surprise for Two Make-A-Wish Foundation children

Abu Dhabi, UAE. 28 February 2017: Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi) has formed a ‘dream team’ with English Premier League club Manchester City FC, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Emirates Palace, to give two kids an extraordinary, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

 

 

Emirati 17-year-old Hamad Khalil Alhousani, who has Type 1 Diabetes, and 15-year-old Syrian Bashar Fouad Alkaisi, who has Thalassemia, are both huge Manchester City fans, and were selected by the Make-A-Wish Foundation to have their wishes granted to meet their heroes from the English Premier League team.

 

Players from Manchester City were at Emirates Palace for mid-season warm-weather training. TCA Abu Dhabi, who are the official Destination Partners for the Premier League team, organised for the two teenagers to be taken along to meet some of the team’s star players.

 

Hamad and Bashar went along to the iconic Abu Dhabi hotel, one of the most luxurious in the world, where they got to meet club captain Vincent Kompany, Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho, Serbian star Aleksandar Kolarov and rising Mancunian player Tosin Adarabioyo, have their pictures taken, and then receive signed shirts from the team.

 

Bashar almost couldn’t believe he was shaking hands with his heroes— it was a dream-come-true.  

 

“It was really amazing to meet the players from Manchester City, and I would like to thank them all for signing the shirts,” said Bashar. “I would also like to thank the Make-A Wish Foundation for this opportunity. It is an experience I will never forget.”

 

Hamad was also delighted with the surprise, as he got to meet his heroes, proudly holding his newly-signed shirt.

 

“To attend the Manchester City training session here at Emirates Palace was an incredible experience,” he said. “In fact, I hope this will happen again for me! I’d also like to thank the Make-A-Wish Foundation for this experience!”

 

Belgian legend Kompany, was inspired by the bravery of the two teenagers, and said: “It was a pleasure to meet Hamad and Bashar. They have both shown a great amount of courage and determination recently and we were delighted to invite them to watch one of our training sessions in Abu Dhabi.” 

 

Hani Al Zubaidi, chief executive of the Make-a-Wish foundation in the UAE added: “I’d like to thank Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority, Manchester City and Emirates Palace for affording us the opportunity to bring two kids such as Bashar and Hamad down to meet the players like this. I know this is something that they will remember for a long, long time, and it was great to see their smiling faces as they got to meet the players.”

Wisemummy81 note to Life

I accidentally seen a sponsored video posted in Instagram about Bbusiness Venture, 

I totally forgot the account name as I was so focus on the speaker, it was actually in Arabic but a readable translation in English was available. 

The speaker then said that EMPLOYEES are slaves, if you want to have a life then don’t be a slave.  

In ancient time it is called slavery and In this new generation we called it EMPLOYEE, why??!!

Can you travel without permission from your employer???    

Can you come and go without permission from your employer??

Can you a make decision without agreement from you employer?? 

You’re paid to work and from the moment you sign your work contract you already surrendered your "rights" to your employers. 

Don’t live as an employee for the rest of your life when you can have the opportunity to create a business for yourself.

It’s a short video but the message is very powerful, as a mother and a regular employee I can hope that I have all the time to be with my kids, serve my family and generate good income to help my husband providing a better future for all of us, all my life even studying in college I had been working, there was never a time I stop working for a reason. 

Now that I’m married with kids I’m still in the corporate with brighter and huge responsibilities at work, I get use to the working environment that I did not realize there is more to what I can offer.

Now with such video, I started to see different perspective in life and re-think of my options and probably find a better opportunities that life has to offer perhaps taking risk is part of it, I’m not saying I’m giving up my work but I’m taking each step slowly with a clear vision for future plans.

Wish me good luck and all the best for everyone!!!

It’s been a while since I’m struggling to find time to blog, over the years, I had been in a state of confusion as to continue or not, something that makes me feel sad but somehow, I realize that it’s about finding that balance within. 

Then it takes me into the best part by asking myself... why did I started blogging???!!! 

I was naïve back then and I just want to write to gain that confidence in writing. I’m not a writer by profession and it is my constant struggle to write, I have a lot of fear and making grammar mistakes is one of many things I do not want to commit (Filipinos are known to be grammatically bullies) but how can I commit that, when I know I do not have that potential to be good in writing and that’s where I realized I have to start writing in public in my own terms and space, I feel that just by starting this blog, I am able to boost at least a little percent of my confidence. After all, I will not be crucified not be in jail for committing grammar mistakes.

Guess, what!? It’s over 2 years now and still wisemummy81 is still up and chillin’…..

I am proud of what I have achieved and I could not ask for more.

Thank you for dropping by my space I hope that you are able to pick up something useful here… hehehehe…

For “not-so” confident blogger like myself or beginners, just hold on to that dream … find that balance and enjoy what you’re doing!!

Love Lots,
