February 4th, 2019 CUD Red Theatre: Members of our valued Support Services Team gathered in the Red Theatre in the presence of His Excellency Mr. Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, Chancellor of the Canadian University Dubai, Professor Karim Chelli, President and Vice Chancellor, other distinguished guests, students and staff to receive their graduation awards after completing a six week development Program to improve their skills in reading, writing, IT and hygiene.
The event was organized by CUDCares and was the culmination of a six week project “Learn Together” in collaboration with Ojaz, an initiative set up by Monica Manoj and Rashi Verma to promote learning amongst individuals with limited access to education. They were assisted by a large number of volunteers from the university.
Prior to the presentation, MC Anjola Ogundkun introduced Zarha Hashi, Club Committee member and Treasurer of the Student Council, who outlined some of the past activities of CUDCares.
This was followed by Mam Fatou Cham, President of CUDCares who thanked Ojaz and the willing volunteers who assisted stating that “Although teaching was a foreign field for most of us, we were encouraged and inspired by the commitment and diligence of our workers who, despite a long day’s work, never missed the weekly classes and were always excited to learn something.”
She continued “In the course of six weeks, we have achieved our goal which is a big accomplishment for CUDCares. The greatest mark of success, however, is to see our graduates live up to their full potential.” She then proceeded to praise them, expressing the team’s pride in their achievements and congratulating them on their success. She looked forward to further projects with Ojaz in the future.
The prizes consisting of certificates and gifts were then distributed by Mr. Buti and Professor. Karim.
CUDCares can be proud of their achievements in this project which was supported on many levels throughout the University and is a gesture of gratitude to the support staff in the university.
