Action Care hosts an English Live program

Action Care, sponsored by HSBC’s Future First program and partnering with Dar Zayed Institute in Al Ain, hosted an English Live program for underprivileged and orphaned boys ages 13 – 17 years old. The four days of intensive English study included group discussions, debates and role play to improve students’ conversation skills, build their vocabulary, and give them experience and training in public speaking. Environmental and health topics were also included to bring awareness of these important issues. The program concluded with a graduation ceremony, with each graduate receiving a gift and a certificate of completion.

Volunteering with [one of Action Care’s training programs] was a very unique experience. It was nice to see the shy but happy children opening up slowly to new things, games, people, language and crossing cultural barriers quickly.
