In commitment to the importance it gives to community engagement and the role of volunteering in spreading awareness, the Deanship of Student Affairs at Al Ain University campus in Abu Dhabi organized the “Volunteer Work Forum and Exhibition”. The event was held in collaboration with the Emirates Red Crescent and Takatof with the attendance of Prof. Abdelhafid Belarbi, AAU Vice President, along with AAU faculty, staff, and students.
The exhibition aimed at introducing the audience to the importance of volunteering and highlighting the effort individuals put in catering for the community’s social needs. Addressing the issues that pose threats to the community is a key factor in motivating development and volunteering. Volunteer work, in addition to being an investment of the youth’s time, is a sign of a community’s solidarity. Further, it is a translation of all those lines of poetry revolving around loyalty and patriotism.
