A Fruitful Meeting Cultivating Stronger Bonds and Inspiring Collaboration.

 

Dubai, October 24, 2023 – The Filipino Social Club Dubai, under the dynamic leadership of President Mr. Ericson Reyes, Vice President Ms. Ellanie Villena, Auditor & Director for Membership Mr. Ruzell Aguilar, and Board of Director & Director for Sponsorship Ms. Cecillia Leoparte, made a notable courtesy visit to the Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) on the 23rd of October 2023.

 

A warm welcome was extended by PAD, under the stewardship of President Dr. Faisel Ikram and its dedicated Board of Directors: Zahid Hassan, General Secretary, Khalid Imtiaz, Joint Secretary and Abubakar Imtiaz, the Head of Public Relations. This visit exemplifies the strong bonds of unity and cooperation that exist within the multicultural community of Dubai.

 

The Pakistan Association Dubai, renowned as one of the pioneers and the largest CDA-licensed community organization in Dubai, has consistently exhibited remarkable support and hospitality towards all its counterparts.

 

During this brotherly meeting, both organizations engaged in fruitful discussions, exploring avenues for future collaborations that promise to benefit their respective communities. The shared commitment is to work together in the domains of Culture, Sports, and Welfare activities, fostering a sense of unity among the diverse members of the Dubai community.

Their valuable insights and experiences have provided the FilSoc with inspiration and guidance to achieve similar milestones, including securing land for community activities, sports facilities, an Auditorium, and a Medical Centre. This exchange of ideas and knowledge underscores the importance of community collaboration in realizing shared goals.

 

“In meeting with PAD, we found more than just a partner; we discovered a senior brother who has set the bar high. Their wisdom will guide us as we reach for the stars in service to our community.” Said Mr. Aguilar, FilSoc Auditor.

The future holds exciting possibilities as both organizations join hands to serve their communities with greater dedication and purpose.
