Fairouz in concert for Dubai Autism Centre

The concert will be held at 8:30 in the evening at the auditorium in the American University of Dubai. Fairouz is expected to attract thousands of her fans to the concert and all proceeds generated from the concert will go towards the development of the Dubai Autism Centre.

Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman, Vice Chairman, Dubai Autism Centre and Director General, Dubai International Financial Centre Authority thanking Fairouz for her supporting towards the Dubai Autism Centre, said:

"Fairouz is legendary and her support for Dubai Autism Center is welcome. Being a non-profit organisation, the center is solely dependant on funding and donations. Fairouz has the capacity to touch the hearts of millions of her fans and with this concert, we hope to raise not just the funding but also awareness about autism."

"Children with autism are locked in their own silent world where very little can reach. The Dubai Autism Center has been set up to reach out and support them and their families. It is our aim to create the understanding and get the message across to those who can help. We would like call on individuals and organizations to come forward for this very worthy cause."

"Dubai International Financial Centre is committed to developing the financial landscape of the region. However, it is our aim to impact the society at large and ensure steady development of areas which are sometimes overlooked by many.

Our partnership with the Dubai Autism Centre is a small measure of our efforts in working with the local community and helping build a better life for children with autism."

Mr. Hashim Al Dabal, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Properties, the main sponsors of the concert, commented: "Our support to the Dubai Autism Centre reinforces our belief that the private sector has to play a vital role in the development of the community. It is the duty of all sectors of industry to come forward and support those who are less fortunate and challenged physically or mentally. There are many who are not aware of what autism means and what we, as organizations, can do to help the children with autism."

He added: "It is our objective to support all the efforts towards developing the services of Dubai Autism Center and to further enhance its capabilities, especially as this centre is completely dependant on contributions and donations."
