MOVE at the Manar Al Iman Charity School, Ajman
Action Care in partnership with the HSBC ‘Future First Global Initiative’ project initiated the MOVE, an Extra Curricular educational and career development program at the Manar Al Iman Charity School in Ajman for the school year of 2013 -2014 targeting the 11 – 12th grade students at the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools.
The program, a weekly course has been integrated into the regular school schedule. The school provides free education and books for all the children at the school who come from less privileged backgrounds.
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.
