Sharjah 24: With the participation of 34 children with disabilities, the 27th edition of the Summer Centre organised by the Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services (SCHS), and sponsored by Sisley International, was launched on Sunday morning under the slogan "Summer Caravan", and will run until August 8th.
Mona Abdel Karim Al Yafie, Director of SCHS said that SCHS has been organising the Summer Centre since 1986. This is a clear indication of the success of its strategic vision to contain, advocate and empower people with disabilities according to international best practices.
Al Yafie explained the right of children with disabilities to recreation and entertainment during the vacation. Therefore, the city has been keen, since the beginning and under the guidance of Sheikha Jamila bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Director General of SCHS, to organise the Summer Centre as the first institution in the UAE for persons with disabilities.
She pointed to the important role of volunteers in working with children with disabilities throughout the duration of the centre, which will include many trips, events and workshops inside and outside the city.
