LEAD—Student Leadership Workshop, Zayed University
On April 17th, Action Care provided an interactive student leadership program at Zayed University, Dubai as a part of the LEAD program the students are undertaking. 37 students enjoyed a series of challenges designed to develop leadership and teamworking skills in the participants.
“In this program I learned that leadership is not only about leading people, it is also about values, respect, fun, and qualities.” — LEAD attendee
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.
