Volunteers in UAE pack school kits for 7,000 children in need

The distribution of the school kits will be carried out in partnership with Al Etihad Charity Foundation, Al Ihsan Charity Association, as well as Hemaya School across different emirates.

Yousif Aldarmaki, a volunteer participating in the initiative, said: “Volunteering is an excellent way to make a difference in someone else’s life. I am thankful to Dubai Cares and DP World for teaming up in this effort to provide underprivileged school children with back packs containing useful items. When the community comes together for a noble cause, we can make great change happen and the success of this initiative proves that and highlights the power of the community in bringing positive change.”

Abdulla Ahmed Alshehhi, Chief Operating Officer, Dubai Cares, said: “Lack of access to basic resources prevents many children from studying or attending school. The Back to School edition of our Volunteer Emirates initiative is aimed at helping children from low-income backgrounds as well as orphans through school kits containing the most essential items that would be needed as part of their day-to-day learning.”

He added: “We are grateful to DP World for supporting us and their invaluable support and generous contributions that will enable us to deliver necessary assistance to children most
