The Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam Oyster Bay hosted a movie premiere on 7th November 2015 at the Century Cinemax complex located at Mkuki House along Nyerere Road in Dar es Salaam. The movie shown on the premiere was the new release James Bond film, Spectre.
Various individuals, Companies and Rotarians from 6 different Rotary clubs of Dar es Salaam participated in the event where over Tshs 30 Million has been raised. The proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards two schools, Msasani Primary School A and Msasani Primary School B.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Mohamed Versi, The President of Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam Oyster Bay said that the funds raised will be used towards building a boundary wall at the Msasani Primary Schools. “Currently the security of the students as well as the safety of school properties are in jeopardy. The school has no wall on one of its longest boundaries. We aim to build a boundary wall in order to limit movement of people across the school as at the moment Msasani residents use the school as their daily pathway and this raises security concerns.”, said Mr. Versi.
During the opening speech, the Fundraising Director of the Rotary Club of Dar es Salaam Oyster Bay, Mr. Vikash Shah thanked individuals who contributed to the cause and gave special thanks to the sponsors; Century Cinemax, Coastal Aviation, CSI Construction, Grand Malt, Bande Khuda, Red N White Wines, New Africa Hotel and other donors who have chosen to remain anonymous.
Century Cinemax offered complimentary screening of the movie in order to allow for more funds to go into the cause. The event was attended by several Ambassadors, diplomats and prominent businessmen and women of Dar es Salaam.
