A large number of people of determination, students and staff from the Special Needs Future (SNF) Development Center have attended the annual gathering to celebrate “The Rainbow of Joy – A Celebration of Inclusion, Creativity & Resilience.”

The event was held at GEMS Modern Academy, Nad Al Sheba, Dubai and attended by Mirza Al Sayegh as chief guest besides a large number of guests.

The heartwarming event was a resounding success, bringing together the SNF community, families, supporters, and special guests in a powerful celebration of talent, joy, and togetherness.

In his inspiring address, he commended the unwavering dedication of the SNF team and the incredible spirit of the participants, stating, “A wonderful concert and the right theme. Events like this contribute to the nation’s vision of inclusivity. Our beloved His Excellency Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan is a symbol of such togetherness and responsibility.”

Over the course of the two-hour programme, students from SNF showcased their talents through a series of music, dance, and theatrical performances, each piece echoing the themes of creativity, oneness and unity. The audience was visibly moved by the passion, joy, and hard work exhibited by every performer.

The event served as a powerful reminder that inclusion is a value to be celebrated, not just spoken about.”

SNF extends heartfelt gratitude to GEMS Modern Academy for their support in hosting the event, the volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and the families and friends whose unwavering encouragement fuels every milestone.

As SNF continues to advocate for inclusion and meaningful engagement, this year’s concert stands as a testament to what can be achieved when hearts and minds come together in celebration.
