An Emirati university student has completed 3,000 volunteer hours through serving her community on various humanitarian fronts.

Shaima Moosa Karam, who's currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Mass Communication and majoring in Radio and Television Production at Ajman University, says she loves giving back to the society that has nurtured her, and she can only do this through volunteering to serve the UAE people.

"I love helping people, and it is good that the UAE has allowed us to volunteer and serve our people through various initiatives and activities," she told Khaleej Times on Monday.

"Volunteering is a culture rooted in the Emirati society, and it has become part of my life. Through volunteering, I am giving back to my community."

UAE authorities have accredited many volunteer teams to implement humanitarian initiatives targeting various segments of society.

Karam, who has spent more than a year in volunteering and community work, says she has completed 3,000 volunteer hours by helping the community in several national humanitarian initiatives to give back to her homeland.
