Dubai: Aga Khan Scouts and Guides Group Volunteers ‘Spread a Smile’ at trauma centre

To mark the beginning of 2016 a group of volunteers visited Rashid Hospital’s Trauma Centre to bring New Year festivities to patients.

Oxygen Management Consultants, along with Aga Khan Scouts and Aga Khan Guides Group, (AKSG) organises the “Spread a Smile” event and visits Rashid Hospital every year on Dec 31. Volunteers take gifts and balloons to celebrate the beginning of a new year with patients who are unable to join their families and friends.

The Managing Director, Muneer Samnani, from Oxygen Management Consultant, started this project with two of his friends in 2010, which has now grown into a big project with support of AKSG.

This year around forty “Spread a Smile” volunteers brought joy and shared fun times with the patients. Four years back, Oxygen Management Consultants partnered with Aga Khan Scouts & Aga Khan Guides Group, (AKSG).

AKSG is based and head quartered at Ismaili Centre Dubai and registered with Sharjah Scout Mission.

One thought

  1. Scouting and Girl guiding properly mentored and monitored build the characters of the boys and the girls who are not only the members of these institutions but of the entire societies and the members of these societies with whom they come in touch and serve them,i think it is a very important component of the civil societies and it is heartening that AKSG is paying ab important role in dubai.
