Arjaan by Rotana donates 900 books to children

Arjaan by Rotana Media City, Dubai, has collected more than 900 books during a two month book drive campaign.

Following the two month campaign all collected books will be distributed to underprivileged communities within the UAE and abroad.

Arjaan by Rotana general manager Mark McCarthy said: “We aim to collaborate with various charities and non- government organizations that support children’s education.

"In fact, contributing by donating books is an essential part of building awareness in a financial stable society of what is occurring in the less developed countries.”

He added: “We hope to carry on our initiative that could help more poorly-educated children in order to further their intellectual development.”

Arjaan by Rotana recently donated books to the library of Mathari Children’s Fund in Nairobi, Kenya in a similar educational initiative.

Located in the Mathari slums in Nairobi, the Mathari Children’s Fund provides education for about 110 kids that have suffered several discriminatory situations.
