We are very proud of the success of our first extended Summer Literacy Camp. After 4 weeks, the initiative witnessed a huge success rate as 98% of the students showed improvement. This would have not been possible without the unconditional dedication of our 200 volunteers and the generous contribution of UAE organizations. . . نحن فخورون جداً بنجاح أول دورة موسّعة من المخيم الصيفي التعليمي لهذا العام. بعد 4 أسابيع، شهدت المبادرة نسبة نجاح عالية، حيث أظهر أن 98% من الطلاب حققوا تحسناً. ما كان لنا أن نحقق هذا لولا التفاني الرائع الذي أبداه 200 متطوع والمساهمة السخية من المؤسسات الإماراتية
