Letter Published in The National UAE on 24Feb 20 UAE’s initiative to help people who crate hope is a great move

With reference to the editorial Arab Hope makers Dubai backs the right causes (February 22): this was a meaningful and thought-provoking piece. The win by the Emirati gentleman, Mr Al Falasi who was awarded Dh 1million was heartening to read. That his hospital in Mombasa will undergo a transformation with the money awarded to him by the leadership of Dubai is very impressive. As is the fact that past winners have used their award money for noble causes. It is good for society that such philanthropic ideals are mooted by the country. The UAE has demonstrated its helping nature for the downtrodden on a global level.
