Simply Abu Dhabi XX

F ollowing the phenomenal success of the Sentebale Polo Cup Abu Dhabi held last year at the Royal Ghantoot Racing & Polo Club under the patronage of HH Sheikh Falah bin Zayed al Nahyan, raising over $1 million for HRHPrince Harry and HRH Prince Seeiso’s charity, Sentebale, Simply Abu Dhabi was invited to travel to Africa for the official opening of the charity’s new Mamohato Children’s Centre in the foothills of Lesotho and on to Val de Vie in Cape Town for the sixth Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Club. Sentebale has enjoyed huge support from the United Arab Emirates, with sponsorship from Emirates Airline and donations coming from HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the Al Jalila Foundation, Abdulla Al Masaood & Sons, HH Sheikha Maitha bint Rashid al Maktoum, Mohammed al Habtoor, Saeed BinDrai, Faris Al Yabhouni and Amr Zedan among others. Tom Hudson, Co-Founder of British Polo Day, and Jessica Hudson, luxury travel specialist, report on what all these incredible fundraising efforts in the UAE have gone towards. Sentebale means ‘forget-me-not’ in Sesotho – Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso chose the name in memory of their mothers who they both lost at a young age, and who were both tireless campaigners in the fight against Aids. The word also serves as a reminder not to forget the children of Lesotho. 2 7 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
