Kanoo Travel team paddles to a grand Victory at White Water Rafting

Dubai, UAE: Kanoo Travel won the Championship title in the recent ‘Delta Challenge’ which was held on 11th December 2015 at Wadi Adventure - Jebel Hafeet, with this year’s chosen theme for the ‘White Water Rafting’ challenge. Delta Airlines has been organising the ‘Delta Challenge’ for the past 8 years with different themes, and has been attended by major travel partners.

Every year, Kanoo Travel has been participating in this prestigious event as a travel partner for Delta Airlines, and has also won several Championship titles in the past.  

There were 4 participating teams from Kanoo Travel - Kanoo Riders, Kanoo Zombies, Kanoo Warriors and Kanoo Surfers, who joined the ‘Whitewater Rafting’ match for this year.

The Delta Challenge 2015 comprised of 20 teams from 17 travel companies that took part in the event. The experience consisted of 2 preliminary rounds of tough competitive rowing for the qualification. Later, 3 Kanoo Travel teams qualified for the final championship race which was the highlight of the competition.

White water rafting is an extreme endurance sport that requires team work, precision and stamina. Whilst the adrenaline boost of this team surfing adventure was remarkable, the bonding experience, fun, thrills and excitement was enthralling. Each team consisted of 5 members rowing through rapids on an inflatable raft down treacherous waters with the guidance of a raft instructor.

The ‘Kanoo Surfers’ team, Captained by Sunil D'Souza emerged victorious and walked away with the DL Championship Trophy for 2015.

The Kanoo Group organises 17th Blood Donation Campaign

Dubai, UAE: The Kanoo Group, in cooperation with the Blood Donation Center - Latifa Hospital, organised its 17th Annual Blood Donation drive on 17th December 2015 from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm, held at The Kanoo Group HAK Training Hall in Bur Dubai.
The campaign drew a record number of over 110 employees from the group, of which are 78 employees who were eligible to give blood after the necessary screening. The successful blood drive is a result of the continuous efforts of The Kanoo Group in promoting awareness program that encourages each member of the society to donate blood to save and improve lives.

Year after year, The Kanoo Group, through the initiative of the Marketing Department, has been organising the annual campaign to help such organisations in ensuring adequate blood supply for patients in times of tragedy and need. 

Mr. Ali Islim on behalf of Marketing Department, said, “We are very thankful to each and everyone in the group for their time and effort to join us and be a part of this priceless moment. You are the very reason for the success of today’s event. One blood donor can save up to three lives. Your initiative makes a huge difference in the lives of people around us, and our community.”

“We also would like to thank the Property Department for their constant help throughout the event and to the members of the Management for joining us in the campaign.  A member of the Kanoo family likewise donated blood to support this health initiative and we sincerely extend our deep appreciation for the humble effort”, he added.

The 17th Blood Donation Drive mostly received positive responses from individual participants. They said that it was a smooth process, well organised, and that the mementos are excellent as well.
