Flower Power!

30 11 2008

Tomorrow, the 1st of December not only marks World Aid’s Day but also will be a celebration for Women in Bahrain through Bahrain’s Women’s Day, the first of its kind.

One Bahraini businessman plans to make the day extra special for women by handing out each women with a flower and a card attached that will congratulate women on the occassion and for being what they are – women!

This initiative begun by Mr. Ahmed Malik of Rolanda Flowers in Bahrain will see flowers like lilies, carnations, orchids and roses been given out at schools, universities, malls, work places through volunteers and also will be given out at Rolanda and it’s sister concern Nawal Flowers.

“100,000 flowers will be given out to women across the country in support of Bahrain’s first Women’s Day tomorrow.The initiative is costing Rolanda Flowers owner Ahmed Malik BD30,000 (79,798 USD), but he says it’s worth every fil to show that Bahrain respects women.” – Gulf Daily News

Ralph Waldo Emerson has said, “The Earth Laughs in Flowers” and we hope that Mr. Malik gets a chance to laugh all his way to the Guinness World Book of Records! Wishing him the flowery best! :)
