Indoor, air-conditioned, 3.5 hours, and it works in August. A packing line that fills meal or hygiene kits for a named charity, with a counted output at the end.
Why this is not the retail version
A company can buy the goods and pack them in its own canteen. What it cannot easily do is get a charity receipt for a counted, quality-checked output — which is the only part of the exercise that survives into a sustainability report.
The other thing being bought is the calendar. This is the CSR package that works in August, at a week and a half's notice, with no bus, no permit, no weather risk, and no tide. In a catalog where most of category J stops in April, that is the whole point of it.
At AED 210 a person for 100 people it is also the cheapest way to put a full department in a room doing something together — and unlike a workshop, it produces an object at the end.

Pack four hundred iftar boxes in the afternoon and hand them out at the roadside before sunset. The only CSR package in the catalog where the team meets the people they are helping.
