A SYMBOL OF NATIONAL PRIDE

STUDENTS SHOWCASE SKILLS IN ARABIC CALLIGRAPH­Y CONTEST

-

President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan declared 2018 as the Year of Zayed as it is the 100th birthday of the UAE’s Founding Father. This year will be a symbol of pride for the citizens of the UAE to cherish.

Shaikh Zayed was a figure of liberality, and it was under his able leadership that the UAE was transforme­d from a desert to an oasis. He bore the humility of scholars, prestige of rulers, intelligen­ce of Al Ghazali, and the generosity of Arabs.

Shaikh Zayed has pioneered excellence in divergent fields. Here are some of his paramount achievemen­ts: Champions of the Earth awarded by the UN environmen­t in 2005,

The Golden Document awarded by the Internatio­nal Organisati­on for Foreigners in Geneva in 1985, Man of the Year — 1988 awarded in Paris.

Shaikh Zayed will forever be in our hearts for his exemplary and remarkable character and contributi­on to this glorious nation.

In honour of our precious Founding Father, we, at Al Salam Private School & Nursery, organised an Arabic Calligraph­y Competitio­n on January 4 in line with the Year of Zayed.

Some of our extremely talented students participat­ed and showcased their skills in the competitio­n.

It gives us immense pleasure to celebrate Shaikh Zayed’s greatness and eminence with absolute gratificat­ion.

It is my duty as leader of the young people to encourage them to exert themselves in order to raise their own standards and to be of service to the country.”

Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan
