I belong to a university organization in the name of the "Hala Ambassadors". We represent the College of Communication and Media Sciences.
Our most recent projects is collecting what we call "Laborers' Aid Kits." The kit contains basic items that laborers working in the city need. This is your chance to give back to the people who contribute in making Dubai what it is, but recieve little or no credit.
It starts with a shoe box! Everyone has some old shoe box they don't really use. Use the shoe box to assmeble the aid kit.
Items to include:
 |
| Toothpaste |
 |
| Toothbrush |
 |
| Shampoo/Soap (2 in 1) |
 |
| Razors |
 |
| Shaving cream |
 |
| Deodorant |
Optional item:
 |
| T-Shirt - Alternatively you can include a small towel or a cap |
 |
| 2 boxes ready to go! You can decorate the boxes if you want! |
You can ask your family and friends to make aid kits too!
After assembling the aid kit, you can drop it off at Zayed University in Dubai. Here's the link for location: ZU maps
Contact me beforehand so we can arrange it. If any case you can't reach Zayed University, we can figure out alternative ways to collect the boxes. Just leave your email in the comments, or contact me via Twitter ( @AliaAlmidfa).
Make a difference!

Hi
ReplyDeleteIm a CCMS student and i do hang out at Hala room a lot. I have to say first that its a nobel project and would help out the labors a lot my only comment is that those boxes have been around Hala room for quit some time. Im wondering about when will they be distributed to the works. Thanks,
Hello Hessa,
ReplyDeleteI agree. These packages should have been delivered along time ago. However, the students responsible for that were very busy with their internships and so on. It has been decided to extend the Labor Kits drive until next semester to collect more boxes and finally have them delivered.
Glad you liked the idea, and I hope we'd be responsible for many charity projects in the future.
