Zulekha Hospital hosts Iftar for People of Determination
Their guardians and mentors were honoured in association with Kidzapp and Touch Dubai.
Zulekha Hospital hosted an Iftar for People of Determination along with their families and mentors at Swissotel hotel in Dubai last week. The purpose of the initiative is to value People of Determination and to show appreciation for the courage, love and commitment of their families who are “True Heroes” in their own right. The hospital worked closely with schools including Al Noor Training Center and Touch Dubai to identify and honour these individuals.

The UAE empowers people of determination and authorities stress on the role of community members to achieve a sought-after inclusive society. The law provides that person's special needs shall not be a reason to deprive him/her of their rights and services especially in welfare as well as social, economic, health, educational, professional, cultural and leisure services.

Co-Chairperson of Zulekha Healthcare Group, Zanubia Shams says, “We advocate inclusion of differently–abled individuals in all realms of the life. These individuals inspire us in their unique ways and give us strength to step forward and defy the odds. We are sure that along with committed partners in our society we can make a collective difference. We are grateful to Kidzzapp and Touch Dubai for their participation and support to this initiative.”

“Touch believes that everyone has their own unique stories and talents. Inclusion is about celebrating our differences and coming together irrespective of societal labels. It’s about encouraging our community as a whole, to embrace one another as equals, with equal rights and opportunities” added Jean Winter, Founder and CEO of Touch Dubai.
