ADACH’s participation in the painting campaign, introduced by the Art Workshop artists at the Cultural Foundation came in line with Dubai Cares campaign, which was launched by His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoom, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to aid education in the world.

"The Dubai Cares campaign carries great weight and is a resolute drive to eradicate illiteracy. It is for a purposeful meaning and we are pleased to contribute in its promotion by involving the participation of leading artists. In fact the response was overwhelming, many artists were engrossed in the charity drive. It will be auctioned for the benefit of Dubai Cares," says Abdullah Al Amri, Director of Culture and Art in the ADACH.

The painting has the names of the prominent artists such as Saeed Ali, Walid Al Shami, and Alia Al Suweidi among others. A brochure with the artists' names and brief biographies is also set to be published. Along with the Emirates University and ADACH, Dubai Cultural Council, UAE Fine Art Society and the rest of cultural institutions in the UAE, endorses the campaign.
