DOHA: Qatar Museums (QM) and Reach Out to Asia (ROTA) held a VIP gala dinner at Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) to thank partners and sponsors for support.
Hosted by H E Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chairperson, QM and ROTA, the dinner was attended by QM Acting CEO Mansoor bin Ebrahim Al Mahmoud, QM Vice-Chairperson Sheikh Hassan bin Mohamed bin Ali Al Thani, Vodafone Chairman Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani bin Abdullah Al Thani, dignitaries, VIPs, CEOs and chairpersons from local sponsoring companies.
“QM and ROTA reach different audiences in the work we do, but we are united by a common passion for and belief in the power of education. Whether helping aspiring artists in Qatar or children throughout Asia, education is key to helping people of all ages reach their full potential,” said Al Mahmoud. “The other thing that QM is fortunate to share with ROTA is the patronage of our sponsors. Without this much of our work would not be possible and we thank them for help and support this year and over the past 10 years of QM,” he added.
ROTA Executive Director Essa Al Mannai, said, “As a member of Qatar Foundation, ROTA works to build cohesive societies through initiatives that give superior importance to the development of society and education for the countries in need. This wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors who share our vision and support us on our journey of humanitarianism. On behalf of ROTA, I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to each and every one of them.” Among the sponsors that have supported both organisations are Vodafone, Oxy, ExxonMobil, SMH, Qatar Airways, QNC WPC and W Doha. They have provided long-term support to initiatives spearheaded by QM and ROTA in Qatar and Asia, including Qatar-Turkey Year of Culture and ‘Fire Station: Artist in Residence’ programme.
