UAE youth volunteers
participating in the UAE Ambassadors programme have provided humanitarian aid
to children affected by the earthquake in Nepal, which claimed the lives of
over 8,000 people and injured thousands of others.
The UAE volunteers
organised various health and entertainment activities for children as part of
the Zayed Giving Initiative for voluntary humanitarian work.
Moza Al Otaiba, Member
of the Board of Trustees of the Zayed Giving Initiative, said that many
Emiratis are proactive in philanthropy, foundations for which were laid by the
late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and praised the volunteers for being
role models through their active participation in volunteer work both locally
and internationally.
Al Otaiba added that
since its inception, the Zayed Giving Initiative has adopted many voluntary and
humanitarian initiatives and continues to empower and encourage the engagement
of young people in charitable work all around the world. -end-
