At the beginning of December, The Better World Fund hosted an international mastermind at Expo 2020 and Charity Gala to support people with disabilities and the education of kids in India. It was a beautiful gala dinner, together with an award ceremony that was held at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. The event itself was supported by influential people from all over the world, including H.E. Xavier Chatel, French Ambassador to the UAE, Mr. Patrick Chalhoub and Ms. Ingi Chalhoub, H.E. Dr. Thani Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade and Minister responsible for talent attraction and retention at the UAE Ministry of Economy, E. Nathalie Kennedy, Consul General of France in Dubai, Hugo Henry-Seylan, Director of Institut Français, H.E. Dr. Rafael Nagel, Founder and Chairman of Abrahamic Business Circle and Ms. Veronica Nagel, the CEO & Founder of Chic Icon, Alina Dyachenko, and many more.
Chic Icon magazine was humbled to be a part of this event as the Media Partner, promoting the awareness of disabilities, especially in order to provide equality to people who are bearing physical injuries, as well as giving awareness of kids’ education in India. It was the second big merge with the BWF after the success at the Cannes Film festival earlier this year.
Dubai Expo 2020 event of BWF succeeded in providing a platform for people to help people and to raise awareness for very important topics, such as the education of kids in India. During the gala dinner, auction-raised money took place, and the capital earned was appointed to cornerstone children in India, not to mention that Paris-Saclay University also signed an agreement with the Better World Fund during the Gala. The goal for this new partnership is to contribute more in the academic world by supporting academia to work on sustainability, science innovation, and education as they are the keys to a brighter future.
The brightest part of the BWF event is that through all the differences, the main focus is to bring the world together. The main theme was disabilities because the organizers believe that people with disabilities need more equality in our society, and it was the best time to talk about it on the International Day of Disabled People on December 3rd. “Disabled people need to be given more trust and support so then they can embrace themselves and contribute to society the way they can,” – says the President of BWF Manuel Collas de la Roche.
Furthermore, during the Gala, the Better World Fund also announced SHIBU Token as their official sponsor and partner for the next ten years. Through the sale of SHIBU Tokens, USD30,000 has already been raised for the Better World Fund. SHIBU does not operate like other cryptocurrencies, it is the only payment method on the celebrity and influencer NFT marketplace which is already in development today because of a successful private sale. As a deflationary Binance Smart Chain Token, SHIBU aims to address a range of humanitarian needs. Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars have endorsed the SHIBU Token, including several well-known stars from the European film industry. It provides humanity with much-needed assistance through its ecosystem. A number of technical features make this platform highly beneficial and up-to-date, making use of cutting-edge technology capabilities and smart tokenomics. In creating the SHIBU Token, Hollywood celebrities combine their influence with the disruptive nature of blockchain technology into a Token that benefits people globally. Through its partnership with Better World Fund, these objectives can be accomplished efficiently and seamlessly. SHIBU was established in order to raise global awareness about humanitarian challenges and problems as well as to provide them with solutions. Further, the objective is to spread a message of shared inspiration for a better world for our future generations.
