The Future Centre for Special Needs was presented with a cheque for AED 500,000 from its recent fund raising gala dinner, which was held on the 15th March 2012 at Residence Gardens of the British Embassy
This annual event, held under the Patronage of HE Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahyan, Minister
of Higher Education and Scientific Research, raises funds to provide special education and rehabilitation to young individuals with disabilities, like autism, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, specific learning disabilities like dyslexia, ADHD and other developmental disorders.
The money that was collected from the recent gala dinner will go a long way towards improving the centre’s facilities and programmes.
