Officials from the Giothon, Giordano’s community walkathon, have presented a cheque for AED 30,000 to the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre, for use in supporting the Centre’s activities.
The Centre, which is a non-profit organisation, will use the funds to implement new programmes and cover the cost of tuition fees for some students. Ishwar Chugani, Executive Director for Giordano Middle East, said: “Giothon grows year on year, and 2005 was no exception. We are now looking forward to the 2006 event, and making it bigger and better.”
