*NADIA SWAN CLIMBS MT. KILIMANJARO


Nadia Swan, longterm Palm Association member now living in Dubai, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro - Africa\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s highest mountain in June this year, raising an astonishing BD6,500 for The Palm Association.

Nadia reached Uhuru Point on the summit of Tanzania\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Mt Kilimanjaro having taken the Rongai route which takes five days from the Kenyan-Tanzanian side of the highest single standing mountain in the world. She went through five ecological types of zones from meadow, forest, moorland, desert and glaciers.

What an achievement!

Thank you to everyone who has supported her.

CONGRATULATIONS NADIA and Whats next?

A huge thank you to the Awali Hospitality Ladies group for their recent BD1000 donation. This donation will be used in our Feed a Family programme and will enable us to provide 6 families with monthly food boxes for a whole year.

*CHILDREN OF NADEEN SCHOOL OF BAHRAIN The children in this photo are from the Nadeen International School. They went on a Charity Walk and raised enough money to send one Bahraini student to university and enough to complete their entire course.

The desire to give something back to the Kingdom of Bahrain, the country in which they were made so welcome was the momentum behind the birth of The Palm Association, in November 2000. The brainchild of two long term resident expatriate ladies, The Palm Association has grown from humble beginnings to a well respected, proactive organisation, run by women, with a sole purpose to provide help and assistance to local families and individuals in the greatest need. We are both proud and grateful to announce that since our launch we have raised over BD 315,000 as of October 2008.. Read more>>

جاءت فكرة تأسيس جمعية النخيل في نوفمبر 2000 من قبل سيددتان أجنبيتان عاشتا لفترة طويلة في مملكة البحرين. والهدف الرئيسي وراء هذه الفكرة هوالرغبة منهما لرد الجميل لهذه المملكة البلد الذي احتضنهما بوساعة صدر. وتطورت الجمعية من بدايات متواضعة الى مؤسسة ناشطة تدار من قبل سيدات لا يطمحن الا لخدمة المجتمع البحريني ومساعدة الأسر البحرينية المحتاجة. ونحن نفخر بأننا ومنذ تدشين الجمعية استطعذا أن نجمع أكثر من 315,000 حتى سبتمبر 2008
