In the spirit of Ramadan and to promote inclusivity, JYK Community Services and Westfield Event Management organised a heartfelt Iftar evening for a group of children and people of determination at the Gloria Ballroom, Khalidiya Palace Hotel, Dubai.
Over 250 guests celebrated the resilience and talents of these inspiring individuals while fostering a deep sense of belonging within society. The event was attended by several prominent community members across the UAE, reinforcing the importance of community support and inclusion. Talking to media, Juhi Yasmeen Khan, Founder of JYK Community Services said, “The primary objective of the special Iftar was to uplift the families of people of determination, making them feel valued and embraced as an integral part of mainstream society. By bridging gaps and fostering awareness, the event aimed to highlight both the challenges these children face and their extraordinary talents and capabilities.”
In line with this vision, JYK Community Services extended invitations to individuals from diverse sectors, including government officials, business leaders, entrepreneurs, media personalities, influencers, and socialites.
The distinguished guests pledged their commitment to fostering a more inclusive and adaptive community for People of Determination. Adding to the evening’s spirit of generosity, a delegation of 21 Japanese volunteers flew to Dubai to participate in the Iftar and contribute their time to this noble cause. With great enthusiasm, they volunteered to prepare gifts for the children, ensuring that each child received a thoughtful token of love.
The organisers arranged a variety of gifts for Children of Determination and their families, including personal hygiene kits, toys, chocolates, and grocery rations.
They also created a more personalised token of appreciation for supporters and partners.
Several canvases were hand-signed by all the Children of Determination present at the Iftar and then presented as unique certificates of appreciation to the supporters and partners.
As part of the event, a unique Talent Showcase was arranged and provided the children an opportunity to express their skills and aspirations.
Keisaku Nishida, CEO of Westfield Event Management & Ina Vacation Home Rentals, expressed his appreciation for the initiative, “Supporting and partnering this cause has been an incredibly fulfilling experience.
