The festive season is here!

T

he most exciting season of the year is upon us once again. It is in the vibrance, warmth and memories we get to create with our family and loved ones.

It is also the season of thanksgiving and gratitude for the year that has been, the ebbs and flows that make the stuff of life. We all get time to sit and reflect on the year that has been and plan for the one that is about to unravel. There is such joy in endings and new beginnings.

It is always our great pleasure to be able to share special memories through our facility, events, exhibitions, collaborations and various showcases throughout the year.

In this issue, we give you reasons to Unwrap The Joy with enjoyable and specially curated Christmas experiences, gifts to buy, food to indulge, play and so much more.

Village Market is the gift that keeps on giving!

SHARE A MEAL ART GALA

Y

ou walk in. The lights are sharp. Bright.

White. A reflection of the hope that is there. After tonight someone, a mother, a child, a family will have food on the table.

Glasses clanked and hands touched. The music, a welcome distraction to the thought-provoking pieces of art. The writing of bids. Eyes looked and saw, beyond the painter and his work. Had their own life mirrored vicariously through it. Believed that such beauty could indeed come out of a blank canvas.

People bought art in a bid to share in the exquisite abstracts, bold colours and shared vision.

Turns out humanity still exists and believes that none should go hungry. No. Not one. And so, art was bought and continues to be sold at the New Extension Art Gallery.

By the time you are reading this over USD 20,000 worth of art has been sold.

We invite you to buy art. Be part of the change.

ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX

Y

ou know an F1 fan when you see one. You know. Not by the shirts they wear though that is a plus, it is by their movement. There were a whole lot of them at Village Market on 26 November for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Season Finale. They know when to shout and when to be quiet. When a pit stop has taken too long. Two seconds. Yes, two seconds is apparently too long a pit stop. They know what that tiny purple thing on the side means. That the listing of the cars on the side of the screen does not determine the drivers’ position. It is that little purple thing.

They know how to have a good time. Their orders come in by the bottle, platter and bucket. Cards are swiped. Drinks swapped. Glasses clanked.

Paddock Experience and Village Market know how to put up a show, large screens, surround sound, and good music. The kind that has you nodding your head with little-to-no knowledge of the artist or the lyrics.

The perfect way to end the season.

They do F1 as though their lives depend on it!

HERO

H

ero is a new kind of eatery, at the intersection of design, fantasy, indulgence and individuality.

Built as a speakeasy with a discrete entrance and prohibition-style bar; the concept invites guests to be members of a secret space.

Bridging fantasy and reality, the space and food celebrate heroes from comics and from our own community – the thought leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, authors, do-gooders, champions of humanity and protectors of the environment.

Each cocktail on our extensive menu has its own personality and flair.

From ‘captain tea" to the mysterious "Up in smoke," our drinks are the heroes of your night.

Though the food menu features sushi, it is decidedly not a Japanese restaurant. The food is not authentic, it is creative. The cuisine adopts the sushi form but takes it out of its native context to give way to more flavour, colour and fun. The small plates draw influence from the idea of the superhero, and their superpowers. Voted No. 62 of world’s best bars, Hero brings to you award-winning cocktails, curated by world-class bartenders.

YEAR OF

W

yes

hat would it be like if you said YES to the things that scared you? Yes, to that career move you've been avoiding, yes to being honest with yourself, yes to public speaking, yes to going back to school.

Shonda Rhimes documents her year of accepting discomfort in order to live a full life. It was 2014 and her elder sister said something that stuck with her and propelled her into this magnificent year of yes, she said "You never say yes to anything" How often do you say yes? When was the last time you accepted an invitation to do anything? Do you struggle with saying yes? Shonda Rhimes had created a world that was comfortable and in this she found herself miserable. She realised that she had been comfortable, but this did not cause her joy or happiness. She was settling for a haphazard life because she was afraid of what else could be.

Shonda Rhimes is the creator of hit shows such as Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder and Scandal. She took Thursday night by storm on ABC when all her shows were aired back-to-back.

She created Shondaland which continues to create more shows. With all this success, she still found that she was hollow, not living to her full potential.

In this book, we get to see her remarkable writing abilities. The way she writes about one year of her life gives us insight into her as a person as well as how she's been able to be so successful. Her talent alone is all she needed to make it on the big screens. Shonda Rhimes is living her dreams and this year of yes propelled her to the next level of that dream.

Make 2024 your Year of Yes, get yourself a copy and see just how much more you have within you!

miles of white sandy beaches stretch before you while palm trees, rising to meet the sky, sway to the movement of the wind. Maybe it’s Old Town, Mombasa, where rustic buildings stand side by side with a snaking, narrow path in between them, leading you to new discoveries.

If you are more adventurous, the National Parks are here for you. We could take you to Amboseli, home

of the African elephant, crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, Lake Nakuru or Lake Naivasha where flamingos blissfully float by to the Masai Mara, home to luxurious resorts and beautiful Maasai culture.

Densey Travels is your perfect travel partner for the ultimate Christmas vacation getaway.

SAWA ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF DAY

O

n October 13, South African Women’s Association (SAWA) organised its annual charity golf event at Limuru Country Club, drawing participation from over 200 golfers who came together to support the cause.

Village Market showed unwavering support at this year's golf day, demonstrating a commitment to philanthropy and community engagement. The generous sponsorship not only underscored Village Market’s dedication to social responsibility but also significantly impacted the success of the event. The collaboration between Village Market and SAWA exemplifies the power of partnerships in making a positive difference.

SAWA is proud to announce that KES 1 million was raised during the event, with Faraja Cancer Support being the exclusive beneficiary of these essential funds.

SAWA is a registered non-profit organisation of expatriates who volunteer their time, energy and love in order to give back to the communities of Kenya. With the generosity and help of various sponsors, SAWA supports social and environmental development initiatives.

Faraja Cancer Support Trust, founded in 2010, aims to provide emotional, practical, and healing support to cancer patients in Kenya and their caregivers. They recognise the importance of such support in the recovery and healing process. Faraja,

which means "comfort" in Swahili, offers a variety of free non-medical support services under five main pillars: information, complementary therapies, support groups, Crafts for Cure outreach program and Faraja Medical Support Fund. Their goal is to alleviate the challenges and uncertainties faced by individuals affected by cancer, ensuring they receive comprehensive and holistic assistance.

SAWA expresses gratitude to Village Market for their steadfast and continuous support in sponsoring these events, making a meaningful impact in the lives of those in need.
