Donations- work camp drop off point. UPDATE!!
Alright QLers...everyone's been asking where to drop off donations...
UPDATE!!! Ok..drove by the showroom and there is a car park DIRECTLY next to the dealership that has plenty of parking and room. So...will try and park there, right by the road so you guys can see us.Sorry for the late notice, but hate to disturb the Merc Dealership business...)
Car Park BY the Mercedes showroom on Salwa Rd.
Wednesday, 30/4/08
6:30 PM until 8:30 PM (or 18:30 to 20:30 for those of you with military time)
Speed's mobile number - 660 4594
I only have one small car, so will need people who have SUVs or trucks to help store and transport the items, also. Anyone who wishes to help at the donation point will also be extremely welcome!!
Thank you in advance for all your help and hope to see your shining faces this Wed...

Snowstorm ...When you come from the Ramada Signal towards salwa Road you take the Midmac fly over and then you come to the Qatra Decorators round-about. After crossing the round-about you will find the merc Showroom on the right hand side and then pls take the service lane to the right. I think that is the place Scarlett proposes to meet.
My office is just above the ARAMEX courier opp to the showroom.
Scarlett I will be there on wednesday at 6.30 PM to help in whatever manner possible from my side.

Scarlett ... ...the place is very good as it is close to the labors camp, but the timings are kind of late ... I know that it is to let more people come and contribute but in my modest opinion, 1 hour is enough or up to 8:00 max.
Irregardless of what happened to those poor people, I think that they still have to wake up too early to go and work ..

I know, King.. ...but problem with my timing is that I work at QAWS wednesdays and thursdays until about 5:30 or 6...and need time to get over to the drop off point. I also want to give folks enough time to get by there after work, and not everyone gets off work at 6 or 7...but I will ask Speed if he wants to shorten the time, since we have to go drop off the goods afterwards. Thanks for your input.

we will be the first group to help them ...Please read all, Labor day may 1st
And we will be the first group to help them ,,
Dear all QL Friends before doing anything if we think twice it will be better for all , I am not against to help worker we all are trying to do from the humanitarian ground but Qatar is a country where we can’t help from our bottom of heart , we can see the worker waiting for their sponsor/company more then 3 / 4 days in Doha airport , we see thousands of abandoned worker searching legally identification , we see thousands of worker not getting salary since more then 6 month, we see thousands of workers not fulfilling basic needs by company ( Resident permit on time ,water, electricity, healthcare )
I urge all QL friend this coming Thursday is Labor day ( may 1st ) why not we celebrate labor day some where and collect stuff and invite most of company needy labor and hand over to them all stuff , again I am not against to help HBK worker , I have also lot of stuff I can come with , meanwhile what are these Org doing ? Red cross societies , Qatar charity ( most of hospital, supermarket, hotel and other public place you will see their presentation to collect huge money)
Sorry for if any convenient its just my personnel opinion ..Happy Labor day !!!!

HBK annual turnover of the Group is around QR. 250 million (USD. 70 Million) and the turnover planned for the year 2007-2008 is around QR. 700 million (USD. 191 Million).

Just a quick update. I ...Just a quick update.
I contacted this Luke John from HBK who gave me an odd response.
I told him that I was calling on behalf of some members from ILQ and QL and wanted to know if he has any plan or procedure for distributing the aid. However his reply was "We already have enough but if you want, you can come and meet them".
I replied with "should I tell all of the guys who're helping to just stop then because we're not needed?"
He replied with "You can come and check it out if you like. But just to let you know yesterday was their day off, today they're back at work so you can't see them except at night."
I kind of felt sorry for them...
What do you guys think? Should we all meet up at night rather than just giving stuff to HBK and letting them do what they want?
How can they have 'enough' donations?

whoami - hmm ...The last fire - I did a lot of collecting, a lot of food and clothes and etc. etc. finally no one was allowed to bring it to the camp, and not only that but entry to everyone except the company employees was forbidden.
I still think we make packages and take food and water they will be more than thankful - they might even have more than they did before. If the camp is open it is easy.
pwb78 said
I understood the plan to be ...I understood the plan to be that we are taking the items directly to the burned out camp. It is not far from Mercedes - just across Salwa from KFC. The men are in two locations - the burned camp, where it is just disgusting, and a camp in the Industrial Area where, physically, it is a bit nicer. Both locations are in need of goods as the ones moved to the Industrial Area are the ones who lost all their belongings and the men in the burned camp are living in a burned out shanty town with no electric.

Am a new member and would like to help the blaze victims.
(1) Do you still need people to help out at the Mercedes showroom on Wed night, 30/Apr? I would like to help.
(2) What about help on 1/May? What sort of help do you need?
(3) What items do you need now for the blaze victims. I can try to organize a donation drive (note, may not be able to gather all the stuff by 1/May though since it's already 29/Apr).
Let me know asap.
Thanks.

Goods instead of money ...If you are like me and want to donate I suggest you do like I just did. I went to Rawnaq on a'port road and bought
27 toothbrushes
20 small packets of detergent
24 bars of soap
3 kettles
5 pairs of shoes
24 tea glasses
for a total of QR 241.- Not a lot of money, but I can't afford more right now.
So this is what I will donate and bring it tomorrow pm.
Speed/Scarlet
Seeing the various articles I bought it might be good to separate the items at collecting points. i.e. clothes from shoes. Household items from soaps etc. My car boot is quite full now and can imaging what it will look like at the collecting points. What happened to the offer from the guy working for the logistics company. Can he bring different boxes/containers so you can sort out the stuff? I could print up signs for the various items to be sorted. Just a suggestion ofcourse.
Also do you realize that the traffic at the Qatar Decoration round-about, where Mercedes is on Salwa is murder at that time of the evening. That is the location for the evening pick-up no? I would recommend doing it under the shopping trolley both times.
Also I will help in the evening with the collections. Pls let me know.
Last but not least a message to all QLers. When you give, Allah will give you more in return!

You guys are amazing... ...thank you to all of you that are offering to help, donate, and drop off...and a thank you to those that perhaps can't donate, but are offering up prayers for the people who lost everything.
I agree that the merc dealership will be a bit of a bugger to get to with construction and traffic, however, it would only confuse folks if we switched now...This is what I get for not knowing Doha well enough to put a place that's traffic free!!
Thank you all again...don't forget..there are TWO drop off sites with different times...check the thread header..and hope to see you all at one or the other..or BOTH!!

SPEED - I did not organise ...I did not organise the pick up, because I was of the opinion you did not need my help.I will make calls just now and get it for 8.30 if possible. I organised a lamp for you to walk around this evening
owen
I will come and help it would be good if donations would be sorted into clothes and sheets/pillow cases towels etc. I have organised my own donations and those from my colleagues into survival kits containing
pillow/sheet/pillowcase/towel/tooth paste/brush/soap/coffee cup/razor.
what we need are matrasses.

SPEED - BTW ...The International Representative for all Nepalese working abroad will also come to the meeting place this evening, he is my neighbour and I already donated things to him for the last fire.
I have to thank all the people in my department who donated a First Kit for the survivors which I will put together again today and bring in the evening.
One Kit costs about QR 50,--
I have offers of food for the coming weeks but until we know what is really happening I have declined>
