DUBAI — Over 100 volunteers from across the UAE participated in a one-day school renovation project yesterday under the Takatof volunteer programme, which is part of the Emirates Foundation.
The volunteers, a majority of them UAE nationals, consisted of young adults and even children as young as five.
The volunteers first underwent training and orientation and then carried out basic tasks like painting the outside walls, classrooms, cement poles and doors of the Abu Hanifa School located in Al Quoz Dubai.
Ali Al Suwaidi, consultant in the Ministry of Education, visited the volunteers, inspected the renovation project and explained to the participants the importance of voluntary services in the UAE. He urged them to take part in more voluntary work.
