PAMELA ANDERSON - ANDERSON JETS TO THE MIDDLE EAST FOR CHARITY GALA

PAMELA ANDERSON has jetted off on her first trip to the Middle East to host a Make-A-Wish Foundation gala in the United Arab Emirates.
The former Baywatch babe was personally invited to take part in the upcoming event at the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi by His Highness Sheikha Sheikha Bint Saif Al Nayan.
As part of an auction at the glitzy gala, Anderson will offer a dinner date with herself. The actress tells DUBAI.TV founder Sheeraz Hasan, "I am thrilled to be flying to Abu Dhabi, a place I've heard so many things about but have never seen.
"I am especially excited to be doing this to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Organisation, an organisation that I have long admired, and I have always enjoyed helping them raise money in the past.
"We are planning to have a lot of fun and make a lot of money for the cause."
Anderson flew out from Los Angeles on Wednesday (28May08).
This weekend's (31May08) fundraiser is just the beginning of a sequence of scheduled events designed to provide funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
His Highness Sheikha Sheikha Bint Saif Al Nayan explains, "Our mission is to bring joy into the lives of these very special children who are a shining example of strength and courage.
"With the assistance of international celebrities, we are raising awareness of Make-A-Wish Foundation in the United Arab Emirates, and, in doing so, we hope to attract generous support from the local community."
