Bank Sarasin-Alpen and Alpen Capital joins hands with the DIFC to organize the DIFC Walk 2010

Bank Sarasin-Alpen and its investment banking associate Alpen Capital organized a charity walk on Friday, 26 March, 2010 to support the children of Haiti through Dubai Cares in partnership with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The event was a huge success and was attended by over 350 participants.

The Charity Walk was open to all members of the DIFC community, family and friends in order to raise funds to support Dubai Cares' efforts in addressing the post-disaster needs of the primary education sector and, developing and implementing programs that will cater to the long-term educational needs of the children in Haiti and help re-build their lives.

One of the main highlights of the walk was the display of art installations around the DIFC Gate Building. All participants of the walk helped to create four canvases focusing on the four elements - Earth, Fire, Wind and Water.
