Special Iftar held for People of Determination

More than 200 guests, including families of children and people of determination, have attended a special Iftar gathering where they enjoyed an array of activities.

The event also saw participation of distinguished personalities, including renowned UAE social media personality Khalid Al Ameri and Bollywood veteran actress Kalpana Iyer, along with community leaders, entrepreneurs, media representatives, influencers, and philanthropists.

The event was organised by JYK Community Services in collaboration with Westfield Event Management at the Khalidiya Palace Hotel, Dubai.

The evening celebrated inclusion, empathy, and hope, sending a strong message, that communities can thrive when they stand together with compassion and positivity.

Solidarity remains stronger than any challenge.

The group of people of determination at the event demonstrated their strengths and talents.

Children proudly shared their dreams and talents, while guests from diverse backgrounds came together to demonstrate solidarity and support for a more inclusive society.

The gathering reflected the core values of the UAE: diversity, compassion, and collective responsibility for community well-being.

To make the evening meaningful, JYK Community Services arranged gifts for Children of Determination and their families, including plants, accessories, stationery, toys, hygiene kits, and grocery packages. Westfield Event Management also presented special gifts to bring joy to the young guests.

Juhi Yasmeen Khan, Founder of JYK Community Services, shared her reflections: “This Special Iftar is not just a gathering; it is a powerful reminder that compassion, unity, and inclusion will always define our community. When we stand together with People of Determination, we celebrate the true spirit of humanity and the values that bring us closer as a society.”

“Many people suggested postponing this event due to the current situation. However, I believed this was precisely the moment to demonstrate the true spirit of the UAE, a nation where people stand together with confidence, compassion, and hope under the visionary leadership of our beloved Rulers. I chose to move forward with this Iftar to follow in the footsteps of the UAE’s leadership and their unwavering commitment to unity and humanity. Tonight, we send a message to the world: we are united, we are safe, and together we are stronger.” A highlight of the evening was a unique token of appreciation created by the children themselves.
