At any given time, Human Resource is the<br />
largest wealth in the world and lots can be<br />
achieved through this field. Social interaction<br />
between people from different walks of<br />
life, groups, countries and communities play<br />
an important role in accomplishing the goals<br />
of organisations across the globe.<br />
When people come together on a common<br />
platform especially based on the same<br />
religious and traditional values, a lot can<br />
be achieved to inculcate human values and<br />
attain a better society.<br />
In the last five years, since its inception in<br />
2006, this has been the main achievement of<br />
the WMO (Ladies Wing) Dubai, under the<br />
presidency of Mrs. Shabana Razzak.<br />
UAE based women of all ages from various<br />
countries, from across the globe have<br />
been brought together under the umbrella of<br />
the WMO. Dubai Ladies Wing, the Middle<br />
East Chapter now has strength of 28 life<br />
members and 87 annual members.<br />
A total of 350 <strong>Memon</strong> ladies living in the<br />
U.A.E. are listed with the committee, who<br />
are not members, but who still attend some<br />
events which are open to non-members as<br />
well. This gives them the opportunity to<br />
know the activities and the objectives of the<br />
organisation and gives exposure to the benefits<br />
of being part of WMO and thus might<br />
be interested in joining in the near future.<br />
The major benefit for the WMO members<br />
is that the organisation serves as a platform<br />
and is being used as a window, to show case<br />
their talent and products to promote their<br />
home industries through e-mails sent out<br />
from the committee or by exhibiting their<br />
products during events that are held every<br />
year.<br />
With the formation of the WMO (Ladies<br />
Wing) in Dubai, the <strong>Memon</strong>’s have<br />
found their own group to identify with,<br />
which they were earlier deprived of. Much<br />
of the lost Muslim values, culture, food<br />
habits and dressing sense have regained<br />
awareness and strength amongst younger<br />
generation, who were otherwise confused<br />
and ignorant of their own culture and<br />
values in life.<br />
One of the key activities of the organisation<br />
is to maximise its efforts to promote the<br />
Marriage Bureau, by introducing families to<br />
each other. Although the committee is helping<br />
the members in match-making and facilitating<br />
interaction between families, a lot of<br />
difficulties are being faced due to differences<br />
in individual family values, preferences and<br />
different mind-sets.<br />
Events:<br />
The WMO (Ladies Wing) Dubai Chapter<br />
had 3 events this year.<br />
One Dish Party at the Hassan Darvesh<br />
Villa in April <strong>2011</strong><br />
We opened with One Dish Party this year<br />
at the Hassan Darvesh Villa, in April <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
It was an exclusive event for only Life Members<br />
and Annual Members.<br />
Each member came in with their favourite<br />
dish, and a collection of about 50 or more<br />
dishes decorated the table, making it a feast,<br />
not only to the eyes but also to the taste<br />
buds.<br />
A team of Doctors were also invited to<br />
this event. Headed by Dr. Simpson and<br />
Guillaume Al Saffah, the nutritionist, from<br />
the Health Care City, in Dubai, spoke on<br />
the benefits of bio-hormonal therapy from<br />
plants which can be used in the form of<br />
creams. They shed light on how this is a very<br />
safe way to correct the hormonal deficiencies<br />
which cause health problems in men<br />
and women. This is the latest treatment<br />
