The Awqaf and Minors Affairs Foundation, AMAF, yesterday distributed 200 iPads on behalf of H.H. Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum to the boys and girls under its care.
Led by Tayeb Al Rais, Secretary General of AMAF, a special celebration was held to mark the occasion in the presence of AMAF's managers, department heads, the minors and their mothers.
The celebration was organised by the Caring and Rehabilitation Department, which is responsible for implementing the financial, educational, residential, health and social development programmes for the Foundation's minors.
Tayeb Al Rais expressed his gratitude for the generosity and patronage of H.H. Sheikha Hind. He applauded her keen interest in caring for the U.A.E.'s underprivileged sons and daughters. He said such a gesture would contribute to elevating their quality of life and education.
Addressing the attendees, he said, "This celebration is testimony to our commitment to meet Dubai's aspiration to help our sons and daughters to further understand the concepts of a smart city with the help of modern technologies. Providing iPads to the Foundation's minors will significantly aid their learning process. Such efforts will go a long way towards integrating the Foundation's minors in the U.A.E.'s success story."
