The Chamber\u2019s office in China donated medical equipment to the Shanghai Red Cross, which included patient beds, walking sticks and other materials and supplies that are being used to train volunteers who care for the elderly in Shanghai.<\/p>\n
The Chamber\u2019s Azerbaijan office launched a new programme offering part-time and paid internship opportunities to young people of determination in Baku. The initiative aims to create career development paths for students with physical disabilities and strong intellectual capabilities.<\/p>\n
Omar Khan, Dubai Chamber\u2019s Director of International Offices, stressed the important role that the Chamber\u2019s international offices play in promoting humanitarian values that the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan embodied and instilled in his people. He pointed out that the recent initiatives follow other charitable and community-focused activities that were organised by the Chamber\u2019s offices in Africa and Eurasia for the Year of Giving and Year of Reading in 2017 and 2016, respectively.<\/p>\n
“These activities support the Chamber’s objective of boosting its social impact in the countries and communities where it operates. By scaling up our CSR efforts abroad, we hope to strengthen the UAE\u2019s reputation as a global humanitarian leader,\u201d Khan added.<\/p>\n
