Dolphin Energy Sponsors Summer Program For Special Needs Children In Abu Dhabi
Dhs 200,000 Donation also Supports Teachers for 10 Months
Dolphin Energy Limited sponsored the recently-concluded summer program of Abu Dhabi’s Welfare & Rehabilitation Center for People with Special Needs with a donation of Dhs 200,000.
The donation was used to support the special seven week series of activities for more than 250 children, including swimming, sports equipment, entertainment and handicrafts. Part of it has also gone to fund salaries for psychiatric support and speech training over the 10 month period, June 2004 to March 2005.
The Center’s Director, Maryam Saif Al Qubasi, said at the conclusion of the program: “We are grateful to Dolphin for this contribution. During the hot months, time can hang heavily for children with special needs – Dolphin’s donation has given us the opportunity to provide extra curricular entertainment and sports in a safe environment.”
Dolphin Energy Executive Vice President, Ibrahim Ahmed Al Ansari added: “Dolphin is proud of its support for the Center, and I would encourage other private companies to offer sponsorship for this and other such centers in the UAE. These children deserve opportunities for a fulfilling life, like every other child.”
Mrs Al Qubasi explained that the Center’s main objective was to provide social and psychological care in a healthy environment for students with special needs, all the year round. The Center, one of Abu Dhabi’s leading privately-funded charities, is located next to Abu Dhabi’s Al Mafraq Hospital.
Dolphin Energy Limited
Dolphin Energy Limited was created to develop substantial energy projects throughout the GCC. Its objective is to create long-term economic wealth and new business opportunities for GCC citizens, far into the future. Dolphin Energy’s major strategic initiative, the Dolphin Project, involves the production and processing of natural gas from Qatar’s North Field, and transportation of the dry gas by sub-sea pipeline across joint UAE-Qatari waters to the UAE, beginning in 2006.
Dolphin Energy’s first initiative, the Al Ain to Fujairah Pipeline, came on stream in January 2004.The pipeline supplies the Fujairah Water and Power Plant on the UAE’s East Coast – initially with natural gas from Oman, and subsequently with Dolphin gas from Qatar. In May 2005, Dolphin began to supply natural gas to the UAE Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. The gas is being delivered via a tie-in near Qidfa between Dolphin’s Al Ain - Fujairah pipeline and the existing Emarat gas pipeline network.
Dolphin Energy is owned 51 percent by Mubadala Development Company, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi – and 24.5 percent each by Total of France and Occidental Petroleum of the USA.
