MOVE Program-National Charity School Dubai
Celebrating one year of the MOVE program for 250 high school students from the National Charity School Dubai. The MOVE is a one year program designed to empower underprivileged teens with the skills they need to succeed in their future careers as well as make a difference in their own communities. Here are some of the highlights!
- Over 70 students participated in public speaking competitions with some fantastic results!
-
Students conducted community projects to improve their school as well as learn vital skills such as leadership, responsibility and teamworking. Some of the results were:
- Three recycling campaigns planned and implemented by the students in the girls, boys, and primary sections of the school
- A new sitting area constructed in the boys’ section, complete with benches, tables and green plants.
- A new garden in the girls’ section
- A traditional UAE heritage tent in the girls’ section which will serve as a showcase of Arabic culture as well as an enjoyable place for the students to sit in and relax.
A special thanks to all the volunteers who helped assist with their time and expertise for these projects.
I learned that anyone can make the world a better place and can make a difference. Now I feel confident that I can make a difference, and after I finish school I'm going to volunteer and try to make a difference myself. I'd like to thank the MOVE Program, because this program improves us, it improves our school and makes it a better place.
