Prince Harry teams up with Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid charity to help Africa’s HIV children

DUBAI // Britain’s Prince Harry will attend a fund-raising dinner in Dubai next month for his charity, Sentebale, and its work in Africa.

Kensington Palace said the Al Jalila Foundation, a non-profit organisation established by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, is forming a partnership with the prince’s charity to help children with HIV living in Lesotho.

They will build the Mamohato Children’s Centre of Excellence to assist HIV-infected youngsters in dealing with their emotional and psychological problems.

It will mark the beginning of Sentebale’s plans to expand in Lesotho and across southern Africa.

Prince Harry founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to give vulnerable children the support they need to lead healthy and productive lives.

After completing his A Levels, the prince had a gap year in which he visited Africa, where he made a documentary about the plight of Lesotho’s orphans.

The Sentebale Forget Me Not dinner will be held in the city’s tallest hotel, the JW Marriott Marquis, on October 7.

Details of Sentebale’s work can be found at www.sentebale.org

GDR Back to Work in Nepal in Full Force

Over the past several months, Nepal has shown itself to be a place of hope, hard work and recovery.

Thanks in no small part to the many donors who contributed to the GDR earthquake rebuilding effort at the SMD School, the school recently received green tags from the Nepal Department of Education for three of its four buildings and classrooms are back in use.

A team of dedicated GDR volunteers recently traveled to Kathmandu to assess our future in this resilient country and screen children for fall clinics.

We’re very happy to share that the kids are lined up and ready to go and we’ll be heading over in full force to conduct three clinics this fall.
