Elli Avram Celebrates Christmas at Gaylord’s Bake Shop with children from the SMILE Foundation

Creates Awareness for the need to support the education of the Girl Child

22^nd December 2015, Mumbai: Actress Elli Avram, fresh from the success of Abbas Mastan’s film ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’ celebrated Christmas with children from Smile Foundation at Gaylord’s Bake Shop joining the popular heritage restaurant in treating them to a range of delicious goodies while drawing attention to the immense need for increasing support and awareness on the issue of education of the girl child.  The event was an initiative with the Smile Foundation with the intention of helping raise awareness about the importance of educating the girl child and the need of education in every child’s life to help eradicate poverty, ignorance and prejudice.

The Smile Foundation is a national level development organisation directly benefitting over 300,000 children and their families every year, through 158 welfare projects on education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment in more than 700 remote villages and slums across 25 states of India. Children, their families and the community become the target group for Smile Foundation's activities as child education cannot be done in isolation and nothing else but education for children can bring long lasting change in society.

Gaylord, established in 1956, a historic destination in itself is a melting pot of various ethnic cuisines. A culinary pit-stop in the heart of South Mumbai, where one can indulge in the delicately prepared North Indian, Mughlai & Continental fare created for the Maharajas and Nawabs.

Gaylord’s, Bake Shop, enchants its visitors with its European bistro charm. For the festive season the bakeshop has a special Christmas menu that includes a delicious array of food such as the X’Mas Medley, Chicken Marina, Baked Aubergine and a variety of hors d’oeuvres, which were on the buffet for the children. In addition, Elli also gifted each child a special souvenir from Sweden which depicted the various celebrations of the country and spent time interacting with the kids.

Speaking at the event Elli said, “Christmas to me is a time for giving and to remember to be grateful for everything you have in life, especially if you have had the privilege of receiving an education.  I support the great work that Smile Foundation is doing, especially with respect to the education of the girl child. Christmas is a time for celebration and giving and it is great if we can all open our hearts and support this much needed cause.”

 “We at Gaylord support the cause of education of the underprivileged girl child and are happy to host this event and support Elli in bringing Christmas cheer to the children at Smile.” Said Noel D’Souza,  General manager, Gaylord, Mumbai.

Yogayatan Port is one of the most iconic projects undertaken by the Yogayatan Group in recent times. India’s commercial capital, Mumbai has always been in need of an ever increasing infrastructure, which led to the planned development of this multi-phased port.

The port is located in Mankhurd, at a distance of 100 meter from Thane Creek Railway Bridge, connecting Mankhurd (Mumbai) and Vashi (Navi Mumbai), at a distance of 10 Nautical miles from Jawaharlal Nehru Port. Its strategic location is close to Mumbai city, 10 kms from the commercial centre of Mumbai.

Yogayatan is contemplating to develop the port facility in multiple phases including a multipurpose cargo port for loading and un-loading of dry bulk cargo; a ship building and ship repair yard; Thermal Power plant; LNG Receiving, Re-gasification and Re-Loading Terminal; container terminal and supply base and passenger terminal.

The facility will also ensure feeder movement of cargo received by road and rail toother nearby ports.  The facility is expected to complement Mumbai Port in line with the Government of India’s policy to reduce congestion and pressure on existing ports. Besides these operational benefits, some of the other benefits of the site are its strategic location close to the industrial area of Mumbai and Navi Mumbai which is benefiting from large investment, including a planned SEZ.  Additionally, Yogayatan Ports has several location advantages such as proximity to international sea-route, low dredging requirements, natural all-weather harbour advantage, and connectivity to national / regional road.

The all-weather port will have accessibility to multiple cargos with an aim to support industrial development in the region.

Yogayatan group expects a number of development and operating opportunities to flourish in due course of time, to broaden horizons of the group’s activities. The success of this expansion will enable it to become India’s prominent private port and logistics operator.

Entry is free on all the three days of the show which also includes free seminars, exciting promotional offers and financing facilities.

Cream of developers; thousands of properties: Visitors will get to mingle with the who’s who of the emirate’s real-estate – developers whose iconic projects have put Dubai on the world map as a key investment destination. Exhibitors include eminent names such as Falconcity of Wonders, Emaar Properties, Al Hamra Real Estate Development, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Tebyan, Select Group, Nakheel, Dubai Properties, Deyaar Development, Meydan Sobha, Damac Properties, Dubai Sports City, Kleindienst Group among others who are exhibiting a huge variety of real-estate – ranging from budget to luxury apartments to villas to beach properties to furnished apartments and commercial properties. Attendees will have three days to survey their areas of interest in depth before making an informed decision on which property to buy. Those looking for financial assistance can also avail low-interest loans being offered to resident Indians at the expo.

Through these sessions, experts will guide prospective buyers on how to finance investment in the UAE, legalities of investing in Dubai, give an overview of the emirate’s realty performance in the residential sector and investment opportunities in other emirates, among other topics.

Commenting on the Dubai Property Show in Mumbai, HE Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of the Dubai Land Department DLD said: “Dubai, with its all-encompassing, flexible nature, offers class and comfort at an affordable price, not to forget excellent quality and a ready infrastructure. This will be particularly attractive to the middle-income group, which will no longer have to choose between affordability and luxury. Indians have long understood the value of Dubai real-estate – as evident by their growing investment in the emirate – and they realise the long- and short-term financial dividends that they can attain. This is why Indian nationals continue to rule the foreign real-estate investment chart; in the first half of 2015 alone, they sliced a significant 15 percent share – the highest in Dubai’s real-estate market by a foreign nationality”.

Sunil Jaiswal, President, Sumansa Exhibitions explained why Dubai real-estate makes is a sound investment: “To begin with, the economic activity in Dubai has shown healthy figures as evident by the city’s diversification across various sectors including finance, logistics, tourism and retail. With Expo 2020 round the corner, the economy is certain to improve further which will have direct affect on rental and resale value of Dubai property. In the last one year, Dubai has reached more than 7% in rental yields in the mainstream property segment, not to forget that returns here are always tax-free. Office rents in particular, have seen profitable returns; rents were 23 per cent higher in the Q4 of 2014 than last year.”

Alharith Almoosa, Vice Chairman and Deputy General Manager, Falconcity of Wonders LLC added: “Dubai’s real-estate sector gives you your money true value for what you purchase. In fact, in London, a 21 sq m unit would cost USD 1 million, according to Knight Frank report. However, in Dubai, you can buy approximately 145 sq m unit with the same amount of money with no compromise on quality. Moreover, Dubai’s quality of life provides outstanding residential localities complete with amenities, high rise malls boasting global brands, upmarket hotels, and an overall great urban living experience. More significantly, Dubai offers political stability and an easy access to global and regional markets, besides boasting one of the lowest crime rates in the world, making the emirate a safe and secure zone. All this is offered at affordable prices, all governed, secured, and registered in RERA and DLD to secure your investments”.

Malaika Arora Khan added: Dubai has been the favourite home away from home for Bollywood celebrities too, and for a good reason. Not only does it make great business sense to invest in the emirate’s realty, the glamorous lifestyle of Dubai is a strong motivation as well. The charm of the city lies as much in its chic aura as it does in the cosmopolitan ambience.”
