Gift of Giving - Ramadan Programs 2013

Action Care partnered with HSBC Middle East, NBAD, ENBD, UAE Red Crescent, Beit Al Khair, Dar Zayed, Fujairah Welfare association, Al Ihsan Charity Association and National Charity Schools as well as with other sponsors, friends and volunteers to conduct 11 events for underprivileged children, orphans and children and youth with special needs.

Check out the highlights from these events at the video below.

I must start by saying that I was very hesitant to participate and be a volunteer as I have never been involved in something like this. But doing so has totally changed my thinking. It opened my eyes to see that it was fun being surrounded by children who are so enthusiastic in wanting to learn so much more of not just a language but also interacting with us, all from totally different cultures and background. Yes, I am so glad that I did volunteer, even if I have not made a great impact on their lives, they definitely left me walking out that night with a smile on my face and sweet memories that I will carry with me for a long time. Thank you Action Care for giving me this opportunity.
