'A feeling of home in Qatar'

'A feeling of home in Qatar'

'A feeling of home in Qatar'

World-renowned British sugar artist Debbie Wingham has transformed a cancelled business launch in Doha into a charity initiative, praising Qatar’s safety, community spirit and government response amid ongoing regional tensions. What began as an unexpected setback during a period of regional uncertainty has turned into an act of generosity for acclaimed British artist and designer Debbie Wingham, who says her time in Qatar has left her feeling “safe, protected and at home”. Wingham, globally recognised for her extravagant sugar sculptures and couture-inspired cake designs, had travelled to Doha to launch her cookie venture Crumbz Cookies when the regional situation escalated and forced the cancellation of her soft launch. Rather than leave, she chose to stay, and to give back. “To be honest, since the moment I arrived, I felt so safe and protected,” Wingham told Gulf Times. “I cannot even put it into words. At first, like anyone, I wondered what was going on would we have water, would we have food? But then I realised how organised Qatar is.” She said discovering the country’s preparedness and communication systems reassured her quickly. “I realised Qatar has its own supply of water and warehouses full of groceries and food. I mean, can you imagine being that organised for something they never knew was going to happen?” she said. “So to summarise, I feel super safe.” Wingham also praised the government’s communication with residents during the situation, describing official updates and notifications as essential.
