This Ramadan Action Care conducted twelve Iftar programs for over 700 less privileged children and young teens, including those with special needs, in each of the seven emirates in partnership with the Red Crescent Society, Beit Al Khair, National Charity Schools in Dubai, Ajman and Sharjah, Senses Residential and Day Care Home, the Al Hemam Training Centre, Dar Zayed, the Fujairah Welfare Association and Social Development Centre.

The children were the guests of honor at each event, enjoying a fun program of active games, face-painting and balloons, and an interactive art project. The highlight of the program was a dramatic and heartwarming play, “The Missing Smile”, about a boy who travels the world in search of his smile and finds it through helping others. Each event was concluded with a sumptuous Iftar and gifts for each child.

Action Care would like to thank each of our partners and volunteers who helped to put a smile on many children’s faces this Ramadan through the Gift of Giving program.
