Special needs students enjoy Iftar meals
DUBAI: A group of students with special needs from the Special Needs Future Development Centre (SNF) and their families were invited for an Iftar by hotel management as part of their CSR initiative.
The Iftar was organised by Burjuman Arjaan by Rotana and Jumeira Rotana Dubai for children with special needs along with their families to break their fast together with the hotel teams.
All families, teams and management of SNF joined for Iftar and enjoyed a delectable array of Arabian dishes to break their fast. To complete the event and make it more memorable, the teams of both hotels distributed gifts from Babyshop to all students and grocery items to each family that were provided by the RSA Insurance.
Ulrich Hoffmeister, General Manager of Jumeira Rotana and Burjuman Arjaan, said, “Ramadan is a time of giving and sharing, especially with those who need it most. It was a great experience seeing these children relishing this momentous event with us.”
Commenting on the event Ruban Shanmugarajah, Chief Operating Oficer of Babyshop, said, “This noble initiative falls directly in line with the spirit of Babyshop’s Ramadan Campaign – A World Without Walls, which brings together people from different cultures and backgrounds to open up their hearts, doors and minds and see the world around them without walls. This campaign stands for acceptance without prejudice, a non-judgmental outlook, practising tolerance and loving each other. As part of this campaign, we at Babyshop are excited to contribute to this CSR initiative and continue to deliver the special message of unity and togetherness in the region during the holy month of Ramadan.”
As part of its CSR programme, Gemini Property Developers has dedicated considerable resources to hand over more than 20,000 Iftar meals to the labourers in the industrial areas and labour camps of Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman during the holy month of Ramadan.
The senior management of Century Financial Brokers distributed ‘Health, Wealth and Happiness’ kits to over 500 labourers, in association with Smartlife, an NGO registered with the Community Development Authority, Dubai, that works for the betterment of blue-collar workers.
