Thalessemia Center in Oud Metha, Dubai
On November 27th, in celebration of National Day, Action Care, joined by several active volunteers, conducted an activity morning for patients at the Thalessemia Center in Oud Metha, Dubai.
Thalessemia patients coming in for their blood transfusions enjoyed activities centered aroound National Day, with flag-making, UAE themed arts, crafts, board games, facepainting, balloon sculpting, gifts and snack bags.
All had an enjoyable time and the parents accompanying their children were thankful for the event which helped to brighten their lives and build courage.
Thank you to all our volunteers who helped to make it possible!
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.
