Hi! It's just for Abu Dhabi at the moment though there has been some confusion- DubaieGov tweeted last week it is not in Dubai- just Abu Dhabi. "Visa renewal in Dubai not yet affected by attestation of rent/utility bills. Currently only for Abu Dhabi. We'll keep you informed" We're keeping an eye on it and will let you know if we hear anything, EW Admin

Hi all, We're not sure if this was an EW arranged group or not but we just wanted to comment. All our groups have hostesses who are lovely and friendly and very welcoming especially of newcomers- we all know what it is like to go to something for the first time on your own and how much courage it has taken to pluck up the confidence to go. This is why we have hostesses. We recommend if it's your first time to go a little early and introduce yourself to the host and they will make sure you are looked after. There are newcomers all the time at all of our mums events and coffee mornings and we are experienced in dealing with first time nerves. Here's a bit more info about the ExpatMums & Bumps groups and the ExpatBumps & Babes. http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_families_mums_groups_8090.aspx If you want to get in touch with us before turning up at an event to establish contact and we can let the hosts know you are coming and to look out for you you can email [email protected] Look forward to seeing you at an event soon. Warm regards, EW Admin

Dear All, Please do read the letter from the parents of the poor triplets and please pay attention to this part "From our hearts and from the hearts of Lillie, Jackson & Willsher we now want only one thing from this tragic day and that is to learn. We want an understanding of what actually went wrong and how to ensure it never happens again. We ask that people allow the experts commissioned to investigate the fire be given the time to do their jobs and gather their facts and to truly understand the issues however long that may take. Yes, we all want answers and accountability, but we need to know what really happened and an extra week or even a month if needed to find out the truth will not hurt. It wont bring back our loved ones, but it will help to ensure this can never happen again. We also ask, because an event like this has never happened before in Qatar, that the Government seek the support from international fire and emergency experts (who sadly have had to deal with similar tragedies overseas) to work alongside the team here to gather the facts. It saddens us to read, to see and to hear misguided speculation and innuendo about the fire in Villaggio and it saddens us that it is being misused to create blame and reflect badly on our adopted home in Qatar. We hope people will refrain from criticising the growth and ambition of this friendly country that we have called home for five years. We ask for patience and to allow the experts the time they need to find and share their answers. Through knowledge, we will make progress. This process should not be about blame regardless of the hurt we all may feel now. This must be about learning so that no person need feel this pain again." http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=509216&version=1&template_id=36&parent_id=16 Please refrain from speculation or blame and respect the wishes of the parents involved in this tragedy, Thanks for your understanding, EW Admin

Hi JayJay Your email address was on a previous post- the one linked to below and had been on their since 2009- it wasn't on a post that you had posted- another user had replied and quoted your post within their own post and that it why your email address was still on there- we have just gone and removed it now. It could have been accessed by harvesting bots or by real people scammers. It doesn't matter how quickly you take it off- harvesting robots skim websites all the time and that one time you put it on maybe the one time they grab it- plus if someone else puts your email address in their post you have no control over deleting it- except if you contact us... this is why the rules state don't post your email address. Wiki explains it all here for you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address_harvesting HTH

Hi jayjay, It will be because you have put your email address on here... someone has then quoted your post which then means you can't delete it http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=80768 We will go in now and delete it for you when you have seen this message. Here's the bit in the rules of the board about it too... http://www.expatwoman.com/dubai/monthly_faqs_forum_rules_8392.aspx "Members are requested not to post personal details of anyone, including their own, for example email addresses, real names, telephone numbers, real addresses, work location, PO Boxes, etc. Email addresses should not be posted for the additional reason that they are picked up by email collecting robots which collect them to be spammed or similar."

We're in the process of pulling the information together- a UK fire chief is preparing a check list for us- will post a link when we get the information. It is definitely worth asking your school or nursery or play area what their procedures are and what their plans are. There will obviously be a strong focus on this going forward and we can all help- educate, remind, focus, prevent etc. A lot of child care providers will no doubt already be revisiting their fire and safety procedures in light of this terrible tragedy.
