“Kids Park” makes disabled="disabled" persons happy and integration into the society
The animal and family park “Kids Park” makes disabled="disabled" persons happy and joyful. They have lived seven recreational and educational days dealing with animals, acquainting themselves with their nature of living, growing vegetables and many other things. They have known how to preserve environment and to protect it from pollution.
The step of receiving disabled="disabled" persons was a national and humanitarian initiative at the private sector level. The eek included several activities such as lectures on animals, painting on faces and cartoon characters shows.
The park has instilled in them nature protection, animal care, cultivation of land and integration into society concepts. They have been encouraged to preserve environment and to be friendly with animals where the visiting children could feed animals at close distance and bottle feed their young with appropriate means under experts and specialists’ supervision, and milking cows and goats.
The presence of the park owner Nasser La Khreibani Al Nuaimi has motivated the children to converse with him and ask him about the project details, regarding the nature of animal world, environment preservation and how to grow plants.
The park aims at creating a natural environment with social, humanitarian and cultural dimension, for better communication between man, nature and environment.
Maryam Saif Al Qubeisi, Head of disabled="disabled" Persons Sector at Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care and disabled="disabled" Persons said “Kids Park enhances environment concepts, environment preservation, instills values of care for animals and motivates land cultivation in them”.
“Kids Park has achieved qualitative leap in recreational programmes for children, rather than introducing new concepts in diversification of programmes and activities which develop care for disabled="disabled" persons, allow opportunities for learning the thing which the park provides”, added Al Qubeisi.
