A total of 200 students benefited from the ‘My Identity, My Hallmark’ initiative, which was organized by the Human Rights Department in the General Secretariat of the Office of H.H Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior for the young people in Al Ain. The initiative aims to promote the concept of volunteering among young people and to empower them so that they can unleash their talents and innovations.
During the event’s closing ceremony, the Human Rights Department honored the students and distinguished families. The ceremony, which was held at the Al Ain Police Officers Club Theatre, was attended by Colonel Mohammed Suhail Al Rashidi, Deputy Director of the Al Ain Police Directorate and His Excellency Abdullah bin Aqeedah Al Muhairy, the Secretary General of Zakat Fund.

He said that they hope to organize more initiatives and programs that contribute to enhancing their competencies, abilities, and skills.
"The Human Rights Department has sought over the past years to implement a number of community-based initiatives that target the young people in Al Ain city and the JuvenileCare Centre; in order to allow students to introduce their innovations and skills as well as to encourage them to be productive and how to best spend their leisure time during thevacation,” he said.
He also noted that the ‘My Identity, My Hallmark’ initiative is the fifth community-based initiative, which garnered the attention of parents and students of all ages; where the number of participants in this initiative, reached approximately 200 students.
