Hani Al Zubaidi, CEO, Make A Wish UAE Foundation, is pleased with latest initiative held to celebrate the Emirati Children’s Day.

Al-Zubaidi highlighted the role played by the Expo organisers in hosting the child and his family for a day in the VIP category, and for providing all the comforts to ensure an unforgettable time.

“We hope that granting this wish will bring happiness to the child and his family and contribute to alleviating their suffering.”
