What's hot and happening around town

Get your grey cells churning and try your hand at the Rubik's Cube challenge being hosted at both City Centre Sharjah and Ajman.

Step Up
Got a pair of new or gently-worn shoes to spare? Take them over to Clarks' Dubai Mall Kids store to do your own bit to fight global poverty. The shoe brand is inviting one and all to participate in their social initiative in partnership with Soles4Souls, which helps to create jobs in developing nations such as Haiti and Honduras. Running till September 15, the drive is aimed at giving a second life to unwanted shoes and protecting the environment by keeping them out of landfills. Visit www.soles4souls.org for more info.
