Dubai, UAE (12 April 2023): The H Dubai, as part of its ongoing CSR activities and in collaboration with Georgetown Early Intervention Center, recognized World Autism Day on April 2nd with a special iftar for students and their families. In preparation and to give attendees the best possible experience, the team at The H Dubai also undertook an enlightening Autism Awareness Session, run by Georgetown Early Intervention Center. The hugely successful event, which took place on Friday, March 31st, was attended by approximately 80 people, including around 30 children. It was a chance for parents and their children to experience a delicious iftar feast specially tailored to their needs in a non-judgmental and welcoming environment and all in attendance had a wonderful evening.
