I just had to give you this for a look, here is the info straight off there site

When we wrote about In Good Company and its New York work spaces for women entrepreneurs earlier this fall, we suggested it might be a concept worth repeating in other parts of the world. As if on cue, one of our spotters recently alerted us to a project in Dubai to build not just a work space but an entire office tower dedicated specifically to businesswomen.

Abu Dhabi-based Hydra Properties just recently completed excavation for Eve’s Tower, which it says will be the world’s first exclusive tower for women entrepreneurs. Located in downtown Dubai’s Business Bay, Eve’s Tower will be part of the iconic Hydra Towers Project comprising five uniquely shaped, high-rise towers. It will feature a sleek design and high-tech facilities, rising 20 floors and facing Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world. While men will be allowed to work there, only women will be able to own office space, and women will enjoy special entrances, elevators and car parks as well, according to a report in Arabian Business. Sulaiman Al Fahim, Hydra’s CEO, explains: “We have conceptualized the building as a tribute to the nurturing spirit of womanhood, world over. I’m confident that the tower will lead to a new awakening and unleash the latent entrepreneurial talent of UAE women and contribute to the overall growth of the nation and region.” Eve’s Tower is slated to be completed by 2010.

My time at boarding school, the making of a business woman.

The thought of traveling all the way to perth to live for five years of my life, just for high school seemed utterly ridiculous to myself and all of my primary school friends. However my time at boarding school was the making of a business woman.

Yes the idea of living away from home when your only twelve or thirteen seems confronting and harsh the benefits for country children to receive an education, private or public in the city presents many more opportunuties and chances than these children could ever dream of.

A private all girls school, yes that phrase brings many stereotypes to ones mind, but ignore these and imagine living with one hundred, maybe more of you best friends and make do sisters, and every morning attending a school with a thousand faces all there to learn and a achieve.

My time at boarding school was the making of a business woman. The staff are willing to push and inspire every single student in their school. This commitment and dedication of the staff makes learning and achieving a more positive and accepted experience.

Exposed to subjects, activities and roles I had never imagined myself involved in I undertook a prefect role in my final year. The responsibilites and roles I had were important in my maturation and future career choices.

Boarding school even gave me the fantastic opportunity to travel to a third world country, Cambodia, with twelve of my now closest friends and teachers. The expereince was amazing and this trip played a significant role in creating my drive to help wider communities and people less fortunate than myself.
