The cheque was officially presented to ORBIS Flying Hospital Chief Executive Pamela Williams-Jones by CEO of NAS Naji Al-Ajmi. ORBIS is the official charity partner of the Routes 2006 Conference in Dubai and delegates at the conference were given a tour of the ORBIS Flying Hospital at the Dubai International Airport.

ORBIS travels across the world carrying out training projects onboard its unique Flying Eye Hospital, a DC-10 aircraft specially converted into a roaming teaching eye hospital. The ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital is an aircraft like no other bringing the gift of sight to people across the developing world and leaving behind vital skills and knowledge that will prevent countless others from going needlessly blind for years to come.

"We are pleased to be making this contribution to ORBIS and we applaud their ongoing efforts to eradicate blindness across the world." quoted Naji Al-Ajmi CEO of NAS. "Given the millions of blind people all over the world, this gives us the opportunity to contribute to a good cause. We are proud to be the first company in the region to make a contribution to ORBIS through Routes and we hope that others will follow" he concluded.
