Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – 19th June 2019

As part of CR Hope Foundation’s initiative in partnership with Café de la Paix, HH Sheikh Khalifa Bin Sultan Al Nahyan formally opened 'Smiles of Tomorrow'; an interactive photography exhibit to raise support and awareness for a new school project in Zanzibar.

The founder of CR Hope Foundation, Renos Fountoulakis shared that he recently resigned from his job as a marketing VP with a prominent company so he could give his full attention to the project. He shared: I feel so strongly in my heart that I need to help the world be a better place. I was visiting Zanzibar on holiday and immediately, I felt a powerful pull on my heart to help the children there and so I hatched a plan to build a school. I was offered land by a local shop keeper in Kizimkazi, and the first phase of the school is already completed. The school will be called “Seeds of Light” and we aim to have it completed by January 2020.

In support of Reno’s vision, more than 80 prominent industry leaders, ambassadors and community leaders from the capital attended the opening of the exhibit. Most spoke about how they really felt emotional for the children and really wanted to help build the school. Renos shared: we have Ambassadors here from many countries including; Greece, Egypt, Poland, Kuwait, Australia, Fiji, France, New Zealand, South Africa, America and I am so grateful for their support. Once again, we see our diverse community coming together for a worthy cause. Maria Kelly originally from Ireland and chairperson of the mental health awareness group Darkness Into Light was also in attendance and shared: Abu Dhabi has such a strong community of fantastic people who are willing and ready to join forces to help support vulnerable people not just at home but overseas as well. Also in attendance was Elena Bravo from Spain. She shared: as a teacher myself, I am really blown away by this project and really want to help in any way I can.
