Speaking to Khaleej Times, Al Shamsy said that the pupils' donation was within the framework of the Student Sponsorship Programme.
"The programme helps deprived schoolboys to overcome the difficult circumstances and continue their study," said Al Shamsy.
One thousand students from Al Ain and its surrounding areas have received the Red Crescent's aid while 23 disabled beneficiaries have utilised the society's support.
The Society has given wheel chairs and other assistances to locals with low income that need social care and healthy caution.
"The aid was distributed through centres of rehabilitating disabled in Al Ain," he added.
Al Shamsy highlighted that the grant also included support of scholars from indigent families and individuals who have not enough money to pay school fees, uniforms and books.
"The RCS objective includes enlarging a helping hand to deprived people and improve their living circumstances and providing humanitarian aid to disadvantaged families," he added
He declared that one of the humanitarian projects of Al Ain RCS is to sponsor schoolchildren during the academic year 2005-2006, the charity move aims at supporting students belonging to poor families to complete their studies.
Price rise casts shadow on Ramadan festivity
THE rise in prices of foodstuff in the run-up to the holy month of Ramadan is a cause for serious concern. After all, this is the time for feasting, holding banquets and distributing food to the poor.
The price spiral is the main topic of discussion at meetings and hardly a day goes by when the issue is not highlighted in the newspapers in one form or the other.
As expected, everybody has expressed dismay at the rise in prices especially in the absence of any measures by the authorities to check the phenomenon.
Indeed, there have been no reassuring words from the government in Abu Dhabi barring a resolve to punish those who hike prices without rhyme or reason.
The issue has to be addressed urgently as the " the holy month of Ramadan " will begin approximately two weeks from now. This is not a time when people can or should be stingy about spending on food and decorations. Banquets and feasts are an integral part of the Ramadan month embracing the values of society, while distribution of food to the poor is also a significant activity fostering the values of mercy and compassion.
In spite of the extravagant expenditure during Ramadan, the positive side is the continuity of tradition and culture.
If there is indeed a link between rise in prices and growth of crime, then strict measures should be adopted to tackle the situation.
