A delegation from the Environmental Awareness Section of Dubai Municipality visited Al Sa'ada Elementary School for Girls, Al Ahmadiyah Model School for Boys and the 2nd of December Elementary School. The delegation participated in activities to welcome the students, coinciding with the start of the new academic year.

Our participation in the joyous occasion of the "Back to School" initiative, which is participated in by students and parents, is aimed to raise awareness about the importance of preserving the environment."
