Sherwoods Independent Property Consultants has announced that it is sponsoring the British Schools in the Middle East (BSME) Games 2009, which is being held from March 20 to 21 at the JESS Arabian Ranches School in Dubai, as part of various initiatives under Sherwoods' corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. Sherwoods will be distributing t-shirts, food, medals and green bags to winners of the sports meet, which is organised by BSME, one of the largest organisations for British Curriculum Schools in the world with 70 member schools from 13 countries educating a combined 60,000 children and employing over 5,000 teachers. The annual BSME Games features competitions in swimming, athletics, basketball, football and netball for pupils in years 5 and 6. The multi-discipline sports meet will conclude with a gala dinner, during which medals and trophies will be presented to winning schools and top-performing athletes.

The support we have extended to the BSME Games 2009 further underlines one of the goals of our CSR program, which is to ensure the welfare of our youth. The partnership with BSME is likewise a strategic move that enables us to interact and showcase our world-class international property offerings to potential buyers and investors through BSME's extensive network of British schools that spans 13 countries in the region."
