Dubai: More than Dh5.5 million in aid has been donated to tsunami victims in Thailand by the Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation.

Medical equipment and services, in addition to relief support and healthcare materials, have all been donated by the foundation.

Ebrahim Mohammad Bu Melha, Deputy Chairman of the Dubai Department of Justice, Attorney-General and Vice-Chairman of the foundation's Board of Trustees announced the figure last week.

Supporters of charities and humanitarian organisations have also donated about Dh4 million worth of relief materials and cash to sufferers in Thailand and Indonesia, he said.

Bu Melha said a study was under way to reconstruct schools, hospitals, religious houses and homes for the needy, in cooperation with the Indonesian Ministry of Housing.

"The foundation has collected fishing boats, boat engines and fishing equipment for tsunami victims in Thailand.

"All the materials will be distributed to the sufferers in a special celebration scheduled to take place at the end of February in Thailand.

"The celebration will take place under the patronage of Thailand's authorities. About 200 families will benefit from this equipment because they work in the fishing industry," Bu Melha said.

Bu Melha said the foundation would be transporting eight highly equipped ambulances for use in remote villages.

He said these aid missions came under the directives of General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister.

"Following Shaikh Mohammad's call for quick action, our rescue teams travelled to east of Asia on the second day of the disaster.

"We were the first international humanitarian foundation, along with a special rescue team from Dubai police to step into the damaged areas, north of Sumatra, the mostly affected spot.

"The first step of the work was the search and rescue of victims, and that was completed successfully," he said.

The Dubai rescue team was made up of 35 people and a number of highly trained police dogs.

The rescue teams chose to go to Indonesia, first, because it was the country most severely affected, said Bu Melha.

The foundation set up four hospitals in different areas. He said that 42 physicians and 150 nurses were running the hospitals that could offer medical treatment for 250 patients and admit about 70 patients.

The foundation's general manager, Adeeb Mohammad Bin Lootah, said donations are still pouring in.

"Schools and university students and many residents have shown a high level of interest in donating aid materials and cash.

"Humanitarian organisations, public establishments and foreign communities residing in the UAE have also made a contribution," he said.

Abdul Rahman Bin Sbeih, who headed the rescue teams, praised Dubai police for doing an excellent job.

"The Dubai team rescued a fisherman who was thrown four km from the shore. He sustained several bone fractures. He fought for his life for five days on his boat. We were able to reach him and rescue him."

A new poem by shaikh Mohammed :D :)



To the Equestrienne


[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Dear, when one inquires the night about me,
He’ll find out that my care comes from the night.
[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And that I love horses, my sweet concern,
The one who loves horses, I also love;
[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A knight, whose love of races worries me,
For whom I called out, wail, o wail-a-way!
[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Equestrienne, who’s not given to wishes,
For you I wish that luck be on your side.
[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So used to win, my trust has never failed,
Each time she comes out a hero acclaimed.
[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]You wearied racing-steeds, I bear witness,
As every day you reach the target first.
[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]World championship, listen to what I say
Is in your reach; you can and should achieve.
[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To championship accustomed, on them wage
A raid, like boisterous and torrential rain.
[/font]

31_nation_college00.jpg
Addressing an audience of more than 500, the UAE Minister of Education and Chancellor of the Higher Colleges of Technology said: "To all of us who have witnessed the birth of the college in 1989 and followed its progress, this is indeed a momentous occasion. It is a celebration of our many accomplishments over the years and it renews our confidence in the future."

"On this day, we dedicate these new facilities to the enlightened and wise leadership of the UAE's founding father, the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan," said Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan.

The Dubai police band participated in the opening ceremony. Several students displayed electronic, mechanical, photographic and technical projects as well as business-related UAE heritage projects.

The ceremony was held under the patronage of General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister, who attended the occasion.

"His vision, his energy, and his commitment to excellence have enabled Dubai to achieve great economic success becoming a premier city in the Gulf," Shaikh Nahyan said.

The Dubai Crown Prince's support of education, in particular, reflects his profound commitment to the development of human resources in the country, said the Education Minister.

Shaikh Mohammad, Shaikh Nahyan and other guests explored the campus's facilities and looked at many of the students' scientific projects.

Shaikh Mohammad said he was pleased to see such modern installations and orient himself with computer and technology-based teaching methods applied in the college.

"The Dubai Men's College is the right step in the right direction and a nucleus of a future University City in Dubai, which will include new colleges and universities," said the Dubai Crown Prince.
