Kim Kardashian Is In Hot Water For An Unauthorized Visit To A Dubai Charity Centre
Kim Kardashian caused quiet a stir during her whirlwind visit to Dubai last week. And just when we though we had seen the back of her, there is now an investigation into whether she visited the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre without permission. The Dubai-based newspaper Emarat al-Youm suggested it undermined local values. That sentiment was echoed by the Ministry of Community and by the Dubai police.
Her visit “had no goal from which students could benefit”
Wafa bin Suleiman – Development official at the Ministry of Community
“We do not need the presence of Kim Kardashian in charity centers … charities (should) invite good people, and thank God we have plenty of good people,”
Dhahi Khalfan, Senior Official – Dubai Police
Kim Kardashian says the visit was the favorite part of her trip
“My favorite part of the trip was visiting Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre. These beautiful children showed me a performance of a lifetime!”

It remains to the seen what will come of this…
The visit did seem to be a publicity stunt and the sentiments portrayed that this visit wasn’t of benefit to the children has merit. Kim Kardashian doesn’t portray the values that esteemed schools such as the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre wish to be associated with so it’s perfectly understandable that she should have received official permission to visit. Unless she is made an example of, more celebrities may drop into charities in Dubai for photo opportunities.
