Here We Start

Dear Sail Readers,

Year 2010 has just passed us by with so many that happened around us and so much that has been done by us. Today, we enter year 2011, filled with dreams and goals of what can be achieved if we only put our efforts in it.

In this issue we welcome onboard a returning writer: Rooda AlNeama, the writer of the “Blunders of a Wannabe Entrepreur” column in which she write about her startup. Now she joins us with a new column called: “Microscopic Me” in which she hopes to share her thoughts and experiences on certain topics from the community.

Also, joining the Sail team from this month is Reem Abdalla, as a writer of the new column “Words, Observations, and ramblings”. Through her column she explores issues in society and discusses emerging new trends. Listen to other people’s thought and view their perspectives about the subject. Then raise questions and form unbiased conclusions about it
