The team from Millennium Plaza Hotel Dubai led by Mr. Daniel Mathew, General Manager; Shihaam Kader, Training Manager; Azam Chiragh, Human Resources Manager; and Bhagyashree Kale, Human Resources Officer hosted the event attended by 19 children along with their parents.

 

Ms. Fatima Saeed Saleh Alswead, Senior Social Worker and Ms. Awatif AbdulBaqi Aljsmi, Head of Follow up and Coordinator of Thalassemia Center welcomed and assisted the team in this annual activity.

 

“Every year we extend our support to the Thalassemia Centre and other organizations looking after the welfare of our children. We commend the Centre for the professional and high quality care they are giving to their patients and support to their parents. We hope our small effort can bring them joy because it is also our hope that Thalassemia will be prevented and eventually eradicated”, said Mr. Matthew.
