This charity event was intended to raise funds for Manar Al Eman, a private school which educates 3000 under privileged and orphaned children.
This event was organized by students of UOWD's Connexionz and Lighthouse Charity Clubs. The Iftar was prepared in a traditional Arabic style, followed by Maghreb prayers. A slide show was presented highlighting the purpose of this event and a guest speaker enlightened the audience on the reasons for the charity.
Games were organized for the children and many guests distributed gifts to the orphans. Handicrafts, sweets, toys, etc were also sold to generate funds. Attendees also gave valuable donations with great enthusiasm. The event was an overwhelming success and over AED 100,000 was raised for the under privileged children.
