More than thousand students including boys and girls participated in the programs held in fun-filled atmosphere, during a period of seven days.

Friendly competitions and other recreational activities were held and participants were given away gifts at the end of the event.

This year, Auwn Initiative- social services platform of ADFCA employees who is convening the events with the cooperation of Education & Awareness Section mainly focused on care & rehabilitation centers for special needs students across the emirate in a move to be in line with government policy to promote initiatives that strengthen integration of special needs sections to the mainstream of the society.
