As a muslim just wanted to say thanks. Even though we don't celebrate Christmas, it means alot that u went out of your way to aid people who are in need, regardless of religion or nationality. And bringing into awareness those who are in need for others to help

As a local I do this almost every day whenever we have extra food or clothes that don't fit anymore I go to a construction site and give it away, they are always very grateful and I love putting a smile On there faces , I know that none of the successes of the UAE would have been possible with ought all the expat's who are calling the UAE there second home.

I really appreciate what you are doing. You are a good example of what Ghandi said "Be the change that you want to see in the World". God bless you! From America your fan Tito.

I love that Mike brought up the construction workers in Dubai. I went with my wife 10 years ago before I had kids, and I witnessed how these individuals were treated. Needless to say, I didn’t like it. So I promised myself I wouldn’t go again. Fast forward 10 years, with 2 children, I am tempted. These videos gives me hope. Mike is a legend. Respect to him.

I'm really grateful to Mike for showing the reality of the construction workers in Dubai. Everyone now wants to go to Dubai and "live their best life" in the city that is the face of wealth now but what they fail to realise is how Dubai got to the position they are today. It was nothing but an empty dessert 30 years ago and the people that built this place are still the ones that are struggling the most. Of course I'm not against those poeple who are in Dubai or visit there, but I defo do think everyone should know the truth behind the city and make an effort to help them even if it's the smallest contribution. Loved this video Mike, keep it up.

Love that G63 you drove! Thanks for the good spirit and charity/donation. It’s eye opening for people to understand. Dubai is not just about rich people and tall skyscrapers. Dubai is just a city like others, good and bad are there, everywhere. I’ll suggest Mike to take this chance to expand your marketing not just about lifestyle and fitness (which you of course are good at) but expand to raise awareness of others who are not aware. Consider yourself as an ambassador for everything good.

I went to India ten years ago and saw the deprivation and I came back a changed woman. You give good advice which is to treat everyone the same, it is something I have learnt to do and it has opened my eyes to appreciating what each and every one of us does from the people who make up the food we eat to the doctors who work tirelessly. We are all one, and we must be compassionate to our fellow man, you have shown how this can be done. Thank you for a wonderful video. Sending love and peace x

I respect you for the second half of the video. I've lived for 10 months this year in Abu Dhabi, as a British citizen and it was an eye opener. The liberties I have as a British citizen is not the same as someone who's an expat over there. The government caters towards tourists and not residents and treats non Arabs who lived there for decades as second rate citizens. It's sad, on the outside Dubai/UAE is this tropical haven where there's no crime and no bullshit and sunshine and beaches and luxury, on the inside there's poverty racism/colourism, political oppression and citizen suppression. Nice one Mike 💪🏾👊🏾
