Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels (SWBH) yesterday launched its “For A Purpose” exhibition at Al Jasra Boutique Hotel, Souq Waqif, in co-operation with Reach Out to Asia (Rota).

The two-day exhibition, designed for owners of small and medium enterprises to showcase their products, has been organised by Evently and Maqdeem & Nasser. The proceeds of the exhibition will go to support Rota’s initiative of rebuilding schools in Gaza.

SWBH was represented by its general manager, Taleb al-Henzab, at the launch ceremony, which was also attended by representatives of the exhibition’s platinum sponsors and participating pavilions.

Underlining SWBH’s continuous efforts to support life and philanthropic action, “For A Purpose” is witnessing the wide participation of leading Qatari institutions and young enterprise owners who are keen to put their products on display and contribute to supporting SWBH’s initiative to rebuild Gaza schools damaged by the latest Israeli aggression, according to a statement.

“It is heartwarming to see some of Qatar’s finest institutions and young, promising faces support our first CSR exhibition, through which we seek to accomplish the two-fold objective of contributing to Rota’s rehabilitation of Gaza schools and helping Qatari entrepreneurs exhibit their products”, said al-Henzab.

On his part, Rota executive director Issa al-Mannai said: “I would like to express our deep gratitude to Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels for its generosity and endeavour to make a positive change in the lives of Gazans. Rota has always been committed to supporting Gaza, particularly in the current circumstances. We all stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and are keen to make a difference in their lives.”

Participants of the exhibition stressed that such events bolster the success and sustainability of the youth’s new projects and help lay solid foundations for entrepreneurs to enhance their leadership skills, thereby supporting the wider Qatari business community.

“For A Purpose” is sponsored by notable companies and institutions, led by the exhibition’s platinum sponsors, including Al Rayyan Sports Club, Pick & Shake, Darz, Buono Chocolate and MJay Design.

“Our participation in SWBH’s ‘For A Purpose’ exhibition is dedicated to Rota’s initiative,” said Mohamed bin Ahmed bin Ghorab al-Marri, representative of Lerida Group, owner of Buono Chocolate.

“It’s an honour to be part of SWBH’s exhibition,” said Abdullah Faleh al-Saeed, owner of Pick & Shake.
