Volunteer in Dubai
Volunteering your time to assist any non-profit aid organization is the most rewarding way to give back to society.
Relief and Aid Organizations rely on volunteers to keep overheads at a minimum, thus ensuring that every penny possible goes to those who need it.
This group is aimed at bringing together ANY organization, good cause or individual effort in the UAE, with people willing to help out. Even if only for ONE HOUR and even if it’s infrequent, it makes an enormous difference.

Victor Pineda
Victor stopped walking at age 5 and by the time he was in high school he used a machine to help him breathe. His mother quickly realized her son would have few opportunities in their home of Venezuela so the family moved to California. It was opportunity and resilience that allowed Victor to flourish. His physical condition never stopped him from living his life fully. Victor has studied and documented the socio-cultural factors that kept people with disabilities marginalized and stigmatized all over the world. The Victor Pineda Foundation (VPF) is part of his dedication and commitment to the advancement of the human rights of young people with disabilities. Victor emerged as one of the young global leaders of the international disability rights movement and was the youngest delegate negotiating the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, the first human rights treaty of the 21st century. |
