Greening Movies

By Emma Kirkman

We all love going to the cinema; the popcorn, the excitement of a new movie, the previews for the upcoming releases.  But have you thought about how all of this impacts the environment?

A local enterprise

By Sharon Carvalho

Half Emirati, half Syrian, Amal Al-Agroobi is a cosmopolitan dynamo and one of those people who impresses from the get go. Having spent most of her life in Belgium, Turkey and the United Kingdom, 26 year old Amal, grew up in a world rich with culture, language, tradition, religion and very broad horizons. Tempo sat down with Amal to talk about her life and her ambitious initiative called ‘I Love UAE’

EWA’A POWER

By Liz Kinane

We hear about so many heart-warming initiatives in our community. Ewa’a, a network of shelters that helps women and children to reconnect with society, is one of those programmes. It was established in 2008 under the auspices of the UAE Red Crescent to provide a safe haven for victims of domestic abuse and human trafficking.

RESOLUTION KEEPER

In January, Tempo put out a call to anyone who had made resolutions for 2012, with the promise to re-visit them at the end of the year to see the outcomes. We received a number of responses from readers who volunteered to be a part of this initiative.

As we pass the middle of the year, Tempo decided to remind a few of these brave souls about their pledges and find out what progress has been made to ensure these resolutions are being kept.

FLIPPIN’ OUT

Battle of the Burgers

There is nothing better than a juicy burger to satisfy a food craving. Without fear or favour, Tempo intern Saniya Ali bravely accepted our challenge to get the lowdown on four well-known UAE burger joints.

PAINTING TRAYS

By Sharon Carvalho

Salwa Abdel Mesih and Maha Hamouda have known each other for over 20 years. For both, their families and careers were a priority and they hardly had time to pursue any other interests. But resigning from work at the end of 2011 seemed to be a blessing.
