Sarah Abdallah was honoured by Sheikha Lubna Bint Khalid Al Qasimi and Dr Aisha EL Sayyar and the Director of Rashid Centre for People of Determination, Maryam Othman, as the Ambassador for Rashid Centre for People of Determination, during a tripartite love ceremony held by Rashid Centre on the occasion of Women’s Day, the Mother’s Day and the Child Day. It comes in recognition of Sarah’s efforts and visits to the centre several times to draw smile on the children faces.
“Thanks to Rashid Centre for People of Determination for giving me the opportunity to give the best of me to people who really deserve love and kindness. Once you choose hope, everything becomes possible. What’s better than drawing a huge smile on these pure faces? Children are the most precious gift from God. They are the ones who give us hope besides peace and eternal comfort.
“They are Angels sent to earth to help us realise how great life is. Again and again, I am the happiest being around them.” Sarah said. “Gaining an honorific title in the humanitarian field is what I have always longed to. I am extremely excited to be the Ambassador of Rashid Centre, advocate and empower these amazing kids. Rashid Centre , you are a great example for everyone to follow, you make the world a better place,” she added.
Sarah Abdallah is an entrepreneur, film director, influential woman in her community, and one who empowers Arab women through her work. With Tunisian origins and an experience, which spans over 10 years, Sarah makes sure to adopt causes which serve purposes and lifts the underdogs within Arab societies. Sarah produced and directed two campaigns for Rashid Centre for People of Determination, she wrote the script and performed to inspire people to remember that we have to support the kids in need and give back to society. Sarah was keen to take the initiative to give and donate during Ramadan and Eid last year for the Rashid Children’s Center for Determination. She visited them several times and helped them. This initiative was launched to return the favor to the UAE, which is benevolent and full of goodness, love, respect, and safety. It was necessary to strive, give and provide assistance to the community, even if the simplest things.
Sarah aims to continue giving to many charitable centres, not only giving to the Rashid Center.
