Rose Rayhaan by Rotana Hotel, in collaboration with the Bright Side Dubai Art Training Centre, hosted Senses Residential and Day Care Centre for special needs children to a day full of art training sessions, iftar, gifts and other fun activities.
‘Hosting children from Senses has become an annual event for us that we look forward to hosting not only during Ramadan but on the other occasions as well. We are very pleased to have this opportunity to support the continuous and wonderful work done by Senses Centre, led by Lina Owies, who has dedicated her life to these children.
It always gives us immense pleasure to contribute to this noble cause in our own small way,” said Rose Rayhaan by Rotana general manager Karim Nahas.
The community-oriented initiative recognises the needs of these special children, and aims to help them integrate into the society as independent individuals.
The event commenced with the art training session provided by Bright Side teachers where children learned to paint using a special method, followed by an iftar prepared by hotel’s chefs for children and teachers.

Commenting on the art sessions, Bright Side artist Yulia Klimontova said: ‘We teach how to paint easily using special techniques, which helps activate the right side of the brain that is responsible for creativity.
“However, it not only about painting - working with colours is directly connected with the emotional sphere and helps reduce stress, anxiety and aggression. Learning how to paint is particularly beneficial for children, especially for children with special educational needs.
"Some of the benefits are eye-hand coordination, small motor control, learning to experiment and discover by mixing colours and using different brush strokes, just to name a few. That was our first class with the Senses and there will be more in the near future to complete the program.”
