UAE Eductional Research Project (February – March 2010)
Action Care conducted an extensive research project on behalf of the newly established MAF Charity Foundation in Dubai. This fact-finding mission took us to every emirate in the UAE and allowed us to meet and interview many individuals in the public and private sector. As a result Action Care was able to identify the several key educational and development-based needs in the UAE. This information will be utilized in planning for future development projects throughout the country to effectively meet these needs.
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.
