Volunteering
I joined the Rotaract club of Dubai in 2007. This international network is a junior Rotary club that counts 175k members worldwide. I have since been president of the Rotaract Paris Haussmann and recently joined the first International Rotary e-club of Paris as a founding member. Every year, we actively raise funds and awareness around multiple topics: education, youth, polio, health, conditions of live and many more. Here are some examples of our most prominent work.
aux couleurs de l’inde
2010. Creation of a school for young girls in Orissa, India, in partnership with CAC40 building giant Lafarge and NGO Nysasdri. More than 100 girls were able to attend school in this very poor area of India since 2010. Fund raiser at the Prince de Galles hotel in Paris including art auction and fashion show.
Mille et Une Nuits
Our Rotaract Club organised a fund raiser at the Napoleon hotel in Paris in order to help Moroccan non profit Tazzanine. The association manages an orphanage in Agaid, Morocco, where 100+ abandonned children and teenagers depend on private donations to live. The club helped them build a recreational area.
Climbing Like IbrahIM
Eradicating Polio has always been one of Rotary’s main fight. Two founding members of the Rotaratct Paris Haussmann club decided to climb mountains (Mount Blanc and Kilimanjaro) to help raise awereness and funds in a bid to eradicate the disease from the last three countries where it still exists. A mere 30 cases are now reported across the world.
Eclats de Rires et d’étoiles
Objective: help children victims of mistreatment in France. We organise a black tie event at the Peninsula Hotel in the hear of Paris and helped Non Profit orgnaization ‘Enfance et Partage’. Designer Ana Qasoar and France’s top auctioneer Pierre Cornette de St Cyr as well as We Are One choir participated in the evening.
