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