Hearts of Service: 1,500 Children Volunteers Join Hands for Ramadan Iftar Drive in Sajja Labour Park with Dr. Knee
By Editor_wr On Apr 8, 2025 During the holy month of Ramadan 2025, the spirit of giving came alive in a remarkable initiative led by Let's Walk Again with Dr. Knee —a social impact and health movement founded by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Azam Badar Khan, firmly known as Dr. Knee. With the official approval and support of Emirates Red Crescent, the initiative brought together over 1,500 children volunteers to distribute 3,000 Iftar meal packs to laborers and workers at Sajja Labour Park, Sharjah, across all Fridays of the holy month. At th e heart of this movement were the young heroes—students lovingly referred to as 'Children'—who dedicated their time, energy, and compassion to serving those in need. These student volunteers came from schools across the UAE, supported passionately by school leadership, staff, and their families. From 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM every Friday, the labor park transformed into a vibrant space of joyful service. Children lined up with meals in hand, serving fasting workers—many of whom spend long days in the sun with minimal access to proper nourishment. For the students, this experience was deeply meaningful, offering lessons in gratitude, humility, and empathy. Dr. Azam Badar Khan – Dr. Knee, shared, 'Watching 1,500 students come together to serve others with such grace and empathy was one of the most powerful moments of this year's Ramadan. This initiative wasn't just about food—it was about building the next generation of changemakers.' Each participating child received a Certificate of Appreciation to acknowledge their valuable contribution—instilling a sense of pride and social responsibility among both children and their families. This initiative stands as a testament to the power of community-driven compassion and humanitarian vision. Under the umbrella of Let's Walk Again with Dr. Knee , the event nourished both body and soul—bringing people of all backgrounds together for a shared cause. Beyond food drives, the movement continues to make an impact across the UAE, India, Africa, and other parts of the world through medical outreach, orthopedic care, knee health awareness, and rehabilitation for underserved populations. The vision remains strong: to build a healthier, kinder world—one step at a time. As the sun set over Sajja each Friday and thousands of workers opened their fasts with meals handed to them by smiling children, one could feel that something far more profound than charity was unfolding—it was the pure power of human connection.

Children are our world's future, says Bollywood star Warsi
In a heartwarming display of compassion and unity, more than 300 young volunteers gathered at Al Sajaa Labour Park for the 6th consecutive Iftar meal distribution event, ensuring that over 3,000 underprivileged blue-collar workers received a nutritious meal to break their fast. This inspiring initiative, led by Dr Azam Badar Khan, fondly known as Dr Knee, the founder of 'Let's Walk Again with Dr Knee,' aims to teach children about social responsibility while supporting the hardworking laborers who contribute to the growth of the UAE. This initiative is designed not just to provide meals but to instil a sense of empathy and awareness in young minds. By directly interacting with the underprivileged workers, the children experience firsthand the diverse social levels within their own country, helping them grow into compassionate and responsible citizens. Young students, guided by their teachers and mentors, eagerly joined hands to serve, exemplifying the true spirit of giving and community service. The event was further elevated by the presence of Bollywood star Arshad Warsi, who attended the event alongside his own children to expose them to the realities of different social classes and the importance of giving back. In his heartfelt speech, he said: 'Seeing these young children come forward to serve the community is truly inspiring. They are the future of our world, and their selfless participation in such initiatives makes me believe in a brighter tomorrow. I brought my own kids here today so they could witness this reality, interact with the workers, and understand the significance of sharing and giving. Dr Knee's efforts to spread kindness and ensure no one goes hungry during Ramadan are commendable. I urge more people to come forward and support this noble cause.' Dr Azam Badar Khan, the driving force behind this initiative, emphasised the importance of consistency in such efforts. In his speech, he passionately declared: 'I do not want this initiative to be limited to just a few days; I want it to continue for the entire month of Ramadan. Not just in Sajaa, but across the entire UAE. This is our way of giving back to those who contribute to the growth of this country. Together, we can create a movement that ensures every labourer gets a meal during Iftar, and we will strive to make this a lasting tradition.'
