Travel blog or art blog? I’m not sure anymore. I had a wonderful time in South Africa for the holidays, and am happy to be back in Dubai again. Funny how quickly a foreign place can become home. I keep meeting wonderful and interesting people here. I feel fortunate to be part of such an international community.
Tawasul
Conservation, and social commitments to building a future in practical ways, with an incredible outreach focus.
One community was dynamite fishing and destroying the coral reef that provides their resource. Through outreach, they could help introduce other ways of fishing that would help maintain or improve the environment.
“We have not inherited the world from our forefathers
– we have borrowed it from our children.”
Tawasul means reach out in Arabic. It aims to engage young people and students in grass root conservation and restoration ecology.

Another great company helps bridge the cultural gap between western and arabian culture. Ali Alsaloom has incredible character and I was privileged enough to hear him speak over Ramadan. HIs website http://ask-ali.com/main.asp has a wonderful interactive question/answer section where people can inquire about the culture. He even has his own show!
Happy new year everyone. I wish you all the best and personal success.
I know it will be another great year.
