MOVE Plus - NCS, Dubai
In beginning of the school year in September, the MOVE Plus program was launched at the National Charity School in Dubai for 230 eleventh grade students, ages 15 to 17 years. The MOVE (Motivational Empowerment program) is an interactive training program designed to instill in attendees a sense of civic responsibility, as well as empower them with the skills needed to become team-builders, communicators, goal-setters and achievers which, in turn enhances their career development as these high school students move into the working world or enter higher education. The MOVE also focuses on imparting training that will equip attendees with the skills needed to organize and support social initiatives, and have a positive impact in their community.
The students will benefit from a 40 minute class on Wednesday each week of the school year. Each class is designed around a theme to provide training in life skills, as well as opportunities for students to communicate in an English environment.
Years from now, when we bump into some of these students and they thank you for helping them to be successful and good people in life, that's when the contentment really hits you. Thank you for letting me reach that point of happiness, by doing just a little to make a difference for these kids.
