The fifth traditional Christmas Dinner, jointly organised by the German Industry and Commerce Office Qatar (AHK) and the German Business Council Qatar (GBCQ), raised QR5,500 for charitable purposes. The event took place at the Oryx Rotana Doha on Friday, with the support of Q-Auto, DB International, TRAGS Trading and Agency Services and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as Diamond Sponsor as well as Qatar International Automobiles/MAN Truck & Bus Middle East and Africa as Platinum Sponsor.
The children’s choir from the German International School of Doha performed several songs which evoked feelings of pre-Christmas joy among the guests. Proceeds were donated to the school for facility development and well-being of the next generation. The dinner was well attended by 120 German and international entrepreneurs and guests, providing room for both business and family gatherings. During the night, Santa Claus’ appearance spread joy and excitement among the children.
Among the guests was Angelika Storz-Chakarji, the Ambassador of Germany. The organisers were represented by Boris van Thiel, Chairman of the German Business Council Qatar.
The highlight of the night was the raffle draw, which was supported by local businesses. In the end, many lucky winners collected vouchers for enjoyable activities in and around Doha.The Peninsula
