This past year has been chockfull of events and happenings, both locally, regionally and internationally. At Tempo we focused on reaching out as never before, presenting real stories about real people; inspiring members of our community engaged in creative projects, setting up businesses and working on social initiatives that helped others. We also promoted conservation and sustainability, and on the personal level the importance of personal initiative, integrity, and international citizenry. We talked about ‘us’, a huge colourful patchwork of nationalities living in this generous country; and we celebrated the wonderful attributes that we all share as citizens of this amazing planet.
For 2013 we leave you with prayers that I hope translate well from Arabic: may you have a long life, filled with happiness, health and prosperity with children who are principled and God fearing. May your parents live long to see their grandchildren’s children, and may all obstacles melt away in your path. It sounds far more elegant in Arabic 🙂
Happy new year UAE, kul amm wa antum bkhair.
