Sailability is committed to giving people with special needs the opportunity to learn to sail and to integrate into the sailing community.

We are looking to expand our activities but require further volunteers. Non sailors are welcome as there are plenty of land based activities to cover.  Volunteers this way please...

And TODAY we need your help in the following 3 ways:
 


Spread the word.  Tell your friends, family, co-workers, and others about us.  Ask them to consider making a difference for the children in Sierra Leone.  
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  This encourages us so much and gives us the strength to keep moving forward. 
Support us with your gifts.  We work hard to stretch every dirham as far as it can go.  But, right now we need to raise Dh 29,600 in order to meet our expenses

Magic Bus is a registered charity providing an outdoor education for children living in slums and rural poverty in India.  Its vision is to bring about a fundamental shift in the way communities behave and to empower youth to take charge of their lives and build stronger communities. Since its genesis in 1999, the organisation has worked with approximately 140,000 children from marginalised backgrounds, providing them with a need-based and age specific programme, which addresses vital social and personal developmental needs. Using sports as a medium, and by providing positive role models, children are made aware of their own abilities and of the world around them. They learn to support each other across gender, social and religious divides.  Their awareness turns into a belief that they can make a difference, which provides them with a purpose in life, thereby enabling them to move out of and stay out of poverty.

Magic Bus started in Mumbai and is now based in Maharashtra, Delhi and Andhra Pradesh.  Its aim is to reach out to over 1 million youth across India in the next 3 years.  To find out more visit: www.magicbusindia.org or email pauline@magicbusindia.org  
 

 

Riding for the Disabled Association of Dubai
Riding for the Disabled Association of Dubai is a charity which offers therapeutic riding on horses to enrich the lives of children with disabilities.  The movement of the horse’s body exercises the rider’s muscles and helps to strengthen them.  Besides from having fun in the lesson the rider improves balance, coordination and gains self-confidence.  The interaction with the instructor, volunteers, other riders and horses helps them with their communication and social skills.  We need volunteers as we totally rely on volunteers to assist with the riding sessions from leading a horse to side walking and ensuring the child stays on the horse. Can you give a couple of hours a week?  There are morning and afternoon riding sessions to choose from. We also need volunteers for assistance with fund raising and gaining sponsorship.  Can you help? Please email rdadubai@hotmail.com or call Helen Walshe 050 734 9484 for further information
