Community Initiatives
Free projects that help children grow in confidence, creativity and a love of learning. Small seeds today, and we hope they really take flight in 2027. π±
Some of my favourite moments aren't paid for at all.
A child standing proudly behind their very own stall.
A little one twirling down a catwalk, head held high.
A family falling in love with books together.
These are my free community initiatives. They're in their early stages, and as we move into 2027, I hope they grow into something truly special for families across the UAE.
Come and grow with us.
Mini Entrepreneurs
Little people, big dreams
Children bring their big ideas to life by running their very own stall, selling something they've made, alongside real vendors in a real mall. It's full of literacy and numeracy, and so much confidence.
- π Homemade cards
- πΏ Jewellery
- π§ Cakes
- π Lemonade
- π Bookmarks
- π¨ Art and crafts
- β A talent to share
Every mini entrepreneur receives a special certificate, and I personally stop by to support every child.
The goal isn't the perfect table. It's your child leaving thinking: "I did that. I created something, spoke to people, and I'd love to do it again."
Catwalk of Confidence
Choose an outfit. Strike a pose. Be YOU.
Children wear something they love: made, borrowed, upcycled, customised or simply their favourite outfit. Then they walk, dance, twirl, wave or strut their way down the catwalk, with a little pretend paparazzi moment at the end! πΈ
No judging. No pressure. Just confidence, creativity and a moment to shine.
Parents, want to get involved? I'm looking for one brilliant parent to help bring the catwalk to life, plus a family-focused sponsor to help make this special moment happen.
Literacy Matters
Less apps, more books in laps
Strong literacy skills start long before children can read. They grow in everyday moments: road signs, books at the park, labels at the supermarket.
There's a global literacy crisis right now, and it can't be solved at school alone. Literacy Matters gives parents simple, joyful ways to support reading at home.
- π Story times
- π΅ Nursery rhymes
- πΊοΈ Story trail treasure hunts
- π Literacy passports
- β Short parent workshops
Raise a reader, not a reading score.
Want To Help These Take Flight?
I'd love to hear from schools, nurseries, brands and parents who want to be part of this in 2027, as a venue, a sponsor or a volunteer.
