This initiative is good for regions and countries which have gone through a natural calamity or are ravaged by war and people are living in tents and their governments are not able to support them in any way.
For a country like Qatar which boasts of highest per capita income and is spending hundereds of billions of riyals in sponsoring sports events and hosting international conferences, it looks like a farce. and what message are we sending to the outside world? That we are insensitive to the plight of expat workers and now we have to rely on charity to make their lives better.
In my opinion, this initiative is a brain child of someone who is totally removed from the real situation on the ground here and it could have been better if a dipstick survey in the form of Workers Satisfaction Survey would have been conducted to assess their ACTUAL needs before embarking on a futile mission.
As they say, if you want to help someone,teach him how to fish. In this case, we are doling out fish which is of no use and is not going to help anyone.
