H.H Late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan said, “The real asset of any advanced nation is its people, especially the educated ones, and the prosperity and success of the people is measured by the standard of their education.” And the walk is considered its second initiative this year to mark and celebrate the ‘Year of Zayed 2018’.

Support Dubai Cares: Dubai Cares has been spreading the awareness and providing for children in developing countries with access to quality education for over a decade now. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai has been supporting this initiative since 2007.

Westford Students Pledge for Education

At Westford University College, the spirit of spreading the awareness started early on 14th February 2018 itself, when the students and staffs joined hands and signed off their love, passion, and support for this noble and important cause. Westfordians truly believe that ‘Everyone has the right to education and with education no success is impossible’.
