Bateaux Dubai supports 'All As One' Charity dinner cruise

The event took place on Saturday 28th October following the wake of the successful All As One dinner cruise in June this year, which raised more than AED 60,000 for the charity organisation's children's orphanage in Sierra Leone.

Guests who booked seats for the evening helped orphaned children in Africa, and were treated with gourmet cuisine from Executive Chef Tunji Oladipo and were entertained by world-class jazz pianist Dwight Dickerson and jazz singer Terri Fields. Penned as 'The Jazz Master', Dickerson has played with the greatest and most influential jazz musicians around the world and recently promoted his CD with original jazz compositions. Fields started her professional career with the jazz quintet "Cascade" and then joined "Groovin" with whom she travelled and performed throughout the Pacific Northwest of Canada and the United States.

David Thomson, General Manager Corporate Affairs of Jebel Ali International Hotels, said supporting All As One is a pleasure.

"It is such deserving charitable work which is done by a team of people who care so much for these children. I couldn't be happier about Bateaux Dubai's association with this great organisation and we hope the evening will raise significant funds."

"Our sincere thanks go to Bateaux Dubai and Jebel Ali International Hotels for their continued support," said Matthew Morgan-Jones of All As One. "Thanks to the funds raised from the last event, we have been able to take in 12 additional children into the orphanage."

Sierra Leone is recovering from a brutal civil war that has left 15% of the country's children orphaned. All As One (AAO) was founded in 1997 in an effort to ease the suffering of abandoned orphans in Africa, especially Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. The organisation currently implements several programmes such as a children's centre, medical clinic, school, monthly child sponsorship and assistance to destitute women and families.
