Twenty-two year old Akram is our industrious handyman.  Filling his days with keeping TCG looking spic and span, he likes to spend his free time listening to music and painting.  Growing up in Narsingdi, Bangladesh, Dubai is some way from home, but he says TCG feels like a second home. “All the teachers, all the children – it’s a happy place and it feels like a garden.”

 

 

 

Kerula-born Ashraf is a bit of a law unto himself.  Unflappable and independent, he loves knowing his way around the city and beetling off on all sorts of errands – so working for TCG he’ll certainly have to exercise all his creativity in order to work out where to find the bits and bobs we require from time to time to enable us to finish off all our various projects with typical artistic aplomb!  When not working, Ashraf enjoys watching television, reading the papers, cooking and going to the mosque for prayers.

 

 

 

Always smiling, Mr Z’s sunny temperament is just what we like at TCG!  Growing up in Sialkot City, Pakistan, at the foot of the snow-covered peaks of Kashmir near the Chenab river, Dubai offers a very different environment for Mr Z.  “I have a good feeling working here,” he says of TCG.  “The teacher and children are so nice and hard working.”  A very hard worker himself, when not at TCG, Mr Z enjoys watching and playing sports and finding out what’s going on in the world.
