Championing the rights of our children will support the UAE Vision 2021 and the UAE Centennial 2071 project”. Bin Gharib pointed out that any initiative that cherishes children in the UAE is a continuation of a journey of love and care that the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan started and continued by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. The events saw very positive turnout from the employees and their children.
