Zayed Humanitarian Work Day is an occasion honouring Zayed’s human heritage: Al Khaili

ABU DHABI, (Pakistan Point News - 23rd May, 2019) Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Chairman of the Department of Community Development in Abu Dhabi, said the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan had left the UAE and the world with many achievements and a legacy "we should be proud of".

"This day is not only a commemoration day for the residents and citizens of the UAE, but for the world. Our Father, Zayed, was a man of many exceptional qualities who earned the love and respect of the world’s leaders and the people alike. He was known for his wisdom and generous spirit, and he will be remembered the world over for his thoughts, works, and deeds," Al Khaili said on the Zayed Humanitarian Work Day, which falls on 19th of Ramadan.

Stating that Sheikh Zayed was a great humanitarian who believed that people are the real wealth of a nation and society, Al Khaili said, "Not satisfied with just transforming the lives of the people in the UAE, he also worked tirelessly to transform the Emirati desert into an oasis of hope and success for people from around the world."

He further stated, "The generosity of our Father Zayed goes beyond the Emirates reaching the four corners of the world. He spread his humanitarian spirit and generosity amongst the Emirati people and instilled ideals of brotherhood and humanity among the people of the Emirates, which is how we became known as ‘Sons of Zayed’."

Al Khaili highlighted that the country’s wise leadership is continuing to follow the path laid out by Sheikh Zayed. President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is currently expanding the humanitarian work started by his father, to reach deprived communities across the globe.
