Make Art Make a difference

Our recently concluded group CSR activity Make Art, Make a Difference proved to be hugely popular with all participants - the students of Mawaheb From Beautiful People, and volunteers from Mashreq who spent time with them. Working in tandem with the talented students, our 11 volunteers created unique and unusual works of art that will later be displayed in our offices. As part of the art programme, they also spent half a day with the special needs students, learning valuable lessons from them especially the skills of self-confidence. On display throughout the event were large amounts of good cheer, lively dancing, and a lot of group photographs – and hugs. More importantly, the programme helped raise attention and funds for this studio in Dubai dedicated to people of determination. Set in the stunning environs of the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, Mawaheb From Beautiful People provides opportunities for students to develop life skills through art, and visitors to explore their creativity alongside them.
