I think its totally unfair for you (and others here) to come up with the conclusion that Alshaya doesn't do charity work. Just for your information, if they are doing charity work they don't have to come and tell you or me or anyone else about it. Charity work is something thats done and not advertised.

Their total cost is probably purchasing the basket and that's it, since if it happened, they'd call Dar Alatfal to come pick them up. Good publicity though.
