  21. SOME CREDENTIALS Khaleej Times: Feb 12, 2011 - Schools like Al Diyafah High School, Dubai also recently organised its first Blood Donation Camp with the Dubai Blood Donation Centre at Al Wasl
 Hospital. “Our students proposed that we do a blood donation drive so we organised it and the response was good,” said Mahesh Sajnani, Community Outreach Co-ordinator. “Sixty five people including parents, students and staff donated blood.” As part of the community service, I went to Al Noor Training Centre for two days to assist the teachers and volunteer. Taking care of children with special needs brought a lot of humility into me. It was a great and memorable experience. I wish I get an another opportunity to go to Al Noor Centre for volunteering.
