They might not be the first people you see, or the first people you think of when you come to the beautiful city of Dubai, but there are thousands upon thousands of men working in the city of Dubai creating what Casie from 'Little People Big Hearts' calls 'The City Of Gold'.
Underneath the glitz and glamour of this fast-paced, multicultural city is a magnitude of workers building this city from the bottom up. These men are brought here for this sole purpose, from a mixture of countries in Asia, thrust into a job they know little or nothing about, but come here with the intention to live a 'dream'. Unbeknownst to them, they end up working long hours in sometimes shocking temperatures and conditions, and then live on a 'campsite' which could loosely be described as living quarters.
Find out more from Casie, our hatrack hero, as she (and her team/s) work to try and create a better life for these men. Her story can be somewhat sad, but is ultimately uplifting and something very positive, that we can all look at, and perhaps take a leaf from her book.
