Beach Clean up

WeLoveOurBeach Beach Clean Up is an initiative by Zero Gravity Dubai and occurs on the first Sunday of each month. On the 7th April 2019, a group of 35 staff from the Western Hemisphere business unit stepped forward to clean the coastline along Jumeirah Beach, Dubai. The blazing sun did not disrupt the team’s enthusiasm. The team determinedly rolled-up their sleeves and took part in clearing the shoreline of rubbish, in particular, plastics. In line with MEO’s “New Year Less Plastic” initiative, the beach cleanup raised awareness in the team on the harmful effects of plastic to our marine ecosystems.

Gift a Meal Initiative

Ramadan, the most sacred month of the year for Muslims, is a time for increased demonstration of noble values such as tolerance, perseverance and care. Embracing the spirit of Ramadan, the MEO Dubai team, backed by a dollar-for-dollar matching by MEO Western Hemisphere, raised a total of AED 4,200.00 towards the donation of 300 Iftar meal packets for the workers at Al Quoz Labour Camp, where they live with limited resources in a congested environment. The meal packets of chicken biryani, fruit and dessert were distributed by the team during the Iftar, the evening meal eaten after the daily fast is broken.

We are proud of the MEO Dubai team for their generousity, in giving their time and resources to this cause. We would also like to thank MakeMyMeal.ae, Red Crescent and Dubai Municipality, who made this event possible.

A Day-Out With Orange Valley Nursing Home Elderly

Orange Valley Nursing Home is one of Singapore’s largest private nursing home operators. On 22nd February 2019, a total of 17 employees from Singapore office participated in bringing the elderly folks from Orange Valley on an excursion to Changi Airport, Terminal 3. Since most of the elderly are wheelchair bound, they have been looking forward to travelling beyond their nursing home, and we were grateful to be given the opportunity to bring them cheer outside of their usual environment. They also enjoyed watching planes take off from the viewing bay and having lunch together.
