Landmark Group’s donation to needy recipients throughout the UAE
Landmark Group’s donation of 50 boxes of clothing, shoes and other items, as well as a donation of 4,500 school stationary kits by Shoemart, and 300 school bags from the Chalhoub Group enabled Action Care to ship thousands of care packages to needy recipients throughout the UAE and the region during the month of December.
Recipients included orphanages, schools for underprivileged children, refugee camps and needy families in Lebanon, Jordan, India, Uganda, Sudan, India, the Philippines and the UAE.
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.
