"Eid Joy Caravan" returns for tenth season
Changes to the initiative over the years
The initiative, overseen by the Department's Community Cohesion Department, has adapted over time due to various circumstances, such as the Corona pandemic. Initially held remotely, the "Eid Joy" boxes were later displayed in shopping malls. In its 13th session, the caravan has returned to its original format: a mobile caravan that delivers Eid gifts to institutions and departments across the emirate, bringing joy to approximately 3,000 children before Eid Al Fitr.
Caravan tour and community engagement
The caravan, consisting of a bus and two cars, will visit previously booked institutions, deliver Eid gift boxes, and stay for a day before moving on to the next location. This initiative fosters compassion and communication within society and is part of a series of year-round community projects led by the department. These projects aim to enhance social responsibility and spread happiness, especially during the festive occasion of Eid Al Fitr.
Call for broader support
Hessa Al Hammadi, Director of the Community Cohesion Department, encouraged all community institutions and departments to join the initiative and help bring joy to children across the emirate, ensuring they feel the joy of Eid.
