It is one of the key pillars through which we engage our local community here in the UAE. We are always impressed by the strong presence and support we receive from the public.”

As part of this edition of Volunteer Emirates, the participants refurbished and enhanced the school premises which included painting doors, repairing furniture, procuring and organising playground toys, assembling 30 computers and a projector, painting murals in the school hallways, equipping the library with educational books as well as landscaping the premises with plants donated by Dubai Desert Group.
