In order to say "thank you" to the UAE labour force and to remind the people of the UAE about these workers, two expats have sacrificed their comfort and are now fighting rough weather conditions while on their way to summit, the highest peak of Europe - Mt Elbrus.
Russian expat Olga Zolotova, 26, and her hiking friend Mohamad Khalaf, began their climb to summit the highest peak of Europe at 5,600 metres. It is an 8-10 days' climb; a tough and risky journey, mainly due to severe weather conditions and climate of Elbrus, but the main challenge is altitude.
On returning successfully, the duo, in cooperation with Emirates Red Crescent and Times Square Centre, will run a charity campaign to collect hygiene and personal care items (shampoos, soaps, towels etc.) for labourers.
"We invite all citizens and residents of the UAE to participate in our initiative and to say one big "thank you". Between September 3 and September 20, you can drop your contributions in the boxes kept at the Times Square Centre. We do not ask for much - a soap or shampoo for Dh5-10 is more than enough! For many of us, this cost is nothing but for those workers it might be a lot."
Speaking about the idea behind the charity, Olga told Khaleej Times: "I am sure we all are aware of those people - the workers in Dubai - who maintain our daily convenience and comforts. These are the people, who leave their families back and come here to ensure their loved ones will also have comfortable life back in their country. Though I am aware the labourers are being taken care of by our government, every time I see them working on the streets, I always wanted to say a personal 'thank you' for doing all this to make this city and my life safe and clean."
