The One Qatar participated in Rota’s Wheels ‘n’ Heels event for the sixth time, raising QR3,574 for the charitable organisation’s educational development projects in Asia. Knowing that thousands would be ‘Walking for Education’ in Doha’s Museum of Islamic Art Park, 40 ‘Onederworkers’ prepared hundreds of snack boxes to keep everyone’s energy levels running high. With all proceeds going to Reach Out To Asia (Rota), The One tribe sold 357 of their ‘Onederfuel’ boxes at QR10 each, making a small fortune for a great cause that promotes the values of education and a healthy lifestyle through active participation.
“This is the sixth year we have taken part in this initiative and once again, we all had a ‘onederful’ day, despite the weather. It just goes to show that reaching out to those in need can indeed be fun,” said Gabriel Salome, General Manager of The One Qatar.
“We would like to thank everyone who generously contributed to it being such a success, in particular Casper & Gambini’s, McDonald’s, Bateel and Gulf Quality, which respectively donated the sandwich, muffin, water and fruits for our snack boxes. It is an honour for us to be working with ROTA to enhance the lives of the disadvantaged and you can be sure that we will return next year,” he added.The Peninsula
