I really enjoyed Mai Camille’s article in last week’s GulfWeekly about her wing walking experience. I can’t believe there are people who do that for a living! I think she’s really brave for trying it.

She must have had a lot of trust in the pilot, there’s no way you’d catch me up there. I think I’ll stick to being inside the plane and never again will I ever complain about flying economy … cattle class definitely beats bird class.

My favourite page in GulfWeekly is the Esquires Elevenses section, but it seems like the Just So bit is getting harder, or am I just slow?

Last week I went to the cinema to see Wolf of Wall Street. At least I think that’s what I saw, I can’t be sure because so much of the film was cut. What is the point of even screening movies like this in Bahrain cinemas if it’s going to get slashed worse than a Freddie Kruger victim?

I think it would be a good idea to have some kind of late night screening where the uncut version is shown for expats. To get in, you have to show ID which proves you’re an expat, thus unlikely to be offended by the content … I know I’m a dreamer but it’s just an idea.

Last week’s front page was real food for thought. It’s amazing how these entrepreneurial youngsters have gained such valuable business experience at such a young age.
I have a feeling they will all do very well in the future. If my old school had given me an opportunity like that, I’d probably be CEO of a company by now!

Think Pink Bahrain is writing to thank you for the unwavering support that you showed the charity during its 2013 Think Pink Bahrain breast cancer awareness campaign. With your support over BD47,000 was raised and will be directed towards the charity’s mission and vision of early intervention and education, which is an integral driving force of the charity.

The money will be directed towards support of Bahrain’s healthcare professionals in achieving further professional development, through sponsorship of internationally recognised qualifications, which will in turn support the community of Bahrain and those being treated for breast cancer within the kingdom.

Again, Think Pink Bahrain applauds all for taking the initiative to raise awareness for this health issue that affects many women of the kingdom. We appreciate you supporting Think Pink Bahrain and in turn the local community.

With 10 years of operation being celebrated in 2014, Think Pink Bahrain looks forward to painting the town pink again with your support with their first gala event in two years on October 31, 2014.

Julie Sprakel,
Think Pink Bahrain founder.
