Thalessemia Center in Oud Metha, Dubai
On November 27th, in celebration of National Day, Action Care, joined by several active volunteers, conducted an activity morning for patients at the Thalessemia Center in Oud Metha, Dubai.
Thalessemia patients coming in for their blood transfusions enjoyed activities centered aroound National Day, with flag-making, UAE themed arts, crafts, board games, facepainting, balloon sculpting, gifts and snack bags.
All had an enjoyable time and the parents accompanying their children were thankful for the event which helped to brighten their lives and build courage.
Thank you to all our volunteers who helped to make it possible!
Volunteering with [one of Action Care’s training programs] was a very unique experience. It was nice to see the shy but happy children opening up slowly to new things, games, people, language and crossing cultural barriers quickly.
