Dubai Group said that Manzil, a Sharjah-based not-for-profit centre for individuals with special needs, participated in the 4th annual concert. Manzil is the cornerstone of Dubai Group’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program.

Held recently at the Millennium School, the concert titled ‘We Are the World’ was preceded by a graduation ceremony for some of Manzil’s students who successfully completed their transitional and vocational training programmes.

The concert, set against a backdrop of spectacular visuals from Dubai’s Global Village, the culture and entertainment destination for families, was played out by students of Manzil to a packed audience of parents, Manzil’s staff and other dignitaries.

“Our graduates have demonstrated that with faith, determination and hard work, they can look forward to living their lives with dignity and freedom, as fully contributing members of society,” said Soud Ba’alawy, executive chairman, Dubai Group and chairman of Manzil.

Manzil provides educational and adaptive living skills programmes for individuals with special needs in the areas of learning, behaviour and development. The centre imparts the requisite self-help, social, educational and vocational skills to help integrate students into the mainstream society.-TradeArabia News Service
