Exciting new features have been added to the official website and a dedicated group has been set-up on Facebook, allowing residents to spread the positive spirit of the awards.

More than 150 people from across the emirate have already shown their support by joining the “Community of Giving” Facebook group and sharing their good deeds on the Abu Dhabi Awards “Acts of Goodness” webpage.

“Everything today is online and the virtual world is an extension of our real world,” said Maryam Amiri from the Abu Dhabi Awards Organising Committee.

“We want to create a dialogue with the community and hear what residents have to say so the Facebook group and the ‘Acts of Goodness’ webpage offer a fun and inspiring way to achieve this interaction, whilst also allowing us to tap into the Emirate’s youth,” concluded Amiri.-TradeArabia News Service
