Ford has appointed The Green Sheikh (right) as the Ambassador to their generous environmental grants program.
Already a columnist for Green Prophet and a roaming environmentalist whose Ramadan post sent bright green ripples throughout the Muslim world, the Sheikh from Ajman known for his eco-sensitivities has taken on yet another major role. And no, he hasn´t been cloned, but given his already hefty commitment load, you would think he had.
HRH Dr. Abdul Aziz Bin Ali Al Nuami has recently been named as Ambassador to the Ford Motor Company Conservation and Environmental Grants Program. Since 2000, Ford has been instrumental in providing funding to a variety of environmental initiatives in the Middle East region, including the Emirates Diving Association (EDA) in Dubai that defended its receipt of a portion of the $1.1 million that Ford has already disbursed to date. There´s just over one month before the 10th September deadline for this year´s grants. Be sure to get your Ford Grant applications in on time!
