The appreciation message on the occasion of the World Humanitarian Day to the humanitarian workers by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is highly commendable (“Volunteers are harbingers of positivity,” says Mohammed, Aug.19, Gulf Today)

Sheikh Mohammed stressed that the human element is the basis and the most important component in enhancing the positive influences which charitable and humanitarian initiatives make in the lives of millions of people, and achieving its lofty goals around the world.

Sheikh Mohammed tweeted in a post on his account on the occasion of World Humanitarian Day, “Workers and volunteers in humanitarian initiatives make the largest and most important positive impact in the lives of millions of people, thanks to the integration of their efforts as they give their time, energies and attention to those who most likely need help and support, motivated by the bonds of humanity.”

In his lovely message he sent his love and blessings to humanitarian workers around the world in which he said: “I am proud of the pioneers of humanitarian work, and of all belonging to this honourable field, individuals and institutions... Their ideas, efforts and giving contributed to the consolidation of the UAE’s position and distinction as a global capital and an international arena for launching humanitarian work and activating successful partnerships for relief and support of the needy, the weak, and those who must be the first to help.”

The United Arab Emirates thoroughly believes in charity, helping people around the world. The visionary leadership of the United Arab Emirates always keeps humanitarian plans ready to help people and make their lives better.
