“A lovely Saturday morning experience”

“Unknown Soldiers”

“It's cool to care!”

"We are just taking a few mins break before we start working on the road again. It'll take us 7 months to complete this, with lots of overtime. It's very hot, but what to do, we need the extra for our families back home in Pakistan" - Asad Getting to know the hardworking builders of this country, one water bottle and face cloth at a time. I was so hassled by the few minutes in the heat, can't imagine how these guys do it day in- day out to give us smooth roads and fancy high-rises”

“It wasn't just a box of 24 water bottles. It was a message of kindness and sameness with the help of this handkerchief printed in 7 languages. The look on the workers' faces, their hands to their hearts, told me the message was received.”

“What amazing work the guys that run @thesamenessproject do to bring a sense of 'sameness' to the community in Dubai. Today was the first#waterforworkers for the year. A chance to give out water, yes, but more so a chance for people from all over the world to connect and share in our common humanity”

“What a wonderful morning spent with new friends, connecting with men and women from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Nepal, recognising their contribution, thanking them for all that they do, and providing some water as they work on this 42° day. Some of those we met have just moved here but some have been here more than 12 years; they've literally built this city.”

“A bottle of water and a simple message to convey our thanks to the men who work tirelessly behind the scenes to give us such a beautiful city to live in”

“After every #waterforworkers I am tired, hungry and in need of a bath, but I have so much energy. These guys are incredible and sharing a moment with them today, whether a wave, a smile, a handshake or a chat, is what it's all about. Create moments. Share sameness. Real people, real lives. Don't live in a bubble. The view is so much better outside.” 

“Today, we took sometime out of our busy schedules to thank those hard workers who do a lot for our country.”

“Being grateful for the people behind the scenes who build this city, keep it clean and make it beautiful”
