Cravia, and the UAE Cinnabon Team, was recently recognized once again
for being a great ambassador for the brand – presenting it the way it should
be, initiating the launch of new products and for being a global training
center for SBC and Cinnabon in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Our team traveled 1,000’s of miles in different directions to support new
Cinnabon openings – going beyond expectations and the call of duty to
develop the brand for different venues.

W O R K I NG MOM
BY Blesilda Balderas
All mothers are considered working moms, but those
who have a career away from home face an extra
challenge. Trying to manage and balance both a
career and family life, I wondered how they were able
to do it all until I experienced it myself. I became a
working mom just recently when I gave birth to a
healthy baby in 2012. It’s not an easy job and it will
never be an easy responsibility. Things seem totally different. Sleepless
nights, coupled with household chores – and still having to manage to
be in the office by 8:00am! I had to always be focused and offer my full
concentration, while trying to spare a minute or two to check if my baby
was fine. In the beginning I was very uneasy and it was hard to adjust and
learn how not to freak out when challenges arose.
Thank God I was able to adapt, adjust and fine tune myself and be
mature enough to handle this big change in my life. I am also lucky
enough to have a supportive husband and a trusted person to take care
of our baby. Having joined the league of moms, I give all my love, respect
and admiration to all the mothers around the world who do their best and
give everything of themselves. I consider my mom, grandmother and all
the other mothers out there as mankind’s everyday heroes in life. I would
like to offer a special mention
to all those who have left their
home country to work abroad,
sacrificing their time and dealing
with being miles away from their
family back home to make a
better life for their children.
A well-deserved high salute
to all hardworking moms.
Happy Mother’s Day
in advance.
