Dubai nursery kids prepare Iftar boxes for workers

Children at British Orchard Nursery celebrated the spirit of generosity in Ramadan by making and distributing Iftar packages to labourers across different areas in the city.

The initiative aimed to inculcate a sense of social responsibility, compassion and care in children. The Iftar boxes were prepared by children under the guidance of teachers to spread happiness and to learn the art of giving.

Children gifted toiletries such as shower gel, comb, bar of soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, and face towel to the labourers. Appreciating the concept of sharing fridge initiative, the little ones also kept food, water and juices in the refrigerators that have sprung up in many areas in Dubai to address the needs of the less fortunate. It was a joint collaboration by parents and the school.

Vandana Gandhi, founder and CEO of British Orchard Nursery, said: "At British Orchard Nursery ...our aim is to instil values in the little ones such as respect and care for others while impressing upon them the importance of giving back to the society...We want to create a new generation which believes in practice of giving, a generation which appreciates that the principle of sharing is the art of caring."

The labourers were delighted to receive the Ramadan packages and appreciated the gesture.
