Al Dhaid Club's summer activity raises environmental awareness
The agricultural workshop was held this morning in the presence of Muhair Obaid Al Khayal Al Tunaiji, Executive Director of the Club and General Supervisor of Summer Activities. It was presented by agricultural expert Saeed Matar Obaid Dalmouk, Director of the Agriculture Department at the Municipality of Al Dhaid City, who shared his practical experience in modern agriculture and sustainable irrigation methods with the participants. The workshop served as an important awareness-raising platform aimed at raising environmental awareness among participants and strengthening their relationship with nature by introducing them to the fundamentals of practical agriculture and modern technologies appropriate to the UAE's environment. Bin Dalmouk began the workshop with a detailed overview of the most prominent modern agricultural methods used in the region, focusing on selecting plants that are suitable for the UAE's climate, particularly ornamental plants and evergreen trees. He explained their role in improving the environment and contributing to reducing temperatures in open spaces. He also addressed the importance of rationalizing water consumption in irrigation, pointing to a range of effective solutions that can be implemented in homes and public parks, such as drip irrigation systems and graywater reuse techniques. The lecturer discussed in some detail the ghaf tree, which he described as the "umbrella tree" due to the shade and dense vegetation it provides. He also reviewed its distinct environmental characteristics, as it is a perennial tree capable of adapting to drought and high temperatures, in addition to its symbolic significance in local culture as the national tree of the UAE. The workshop witnessed great interaction from the young participants, who showed remarkable interest and asked numerous questions about plants, sustainable agriculture, and the best ways to care for home gardens. The workshop also stimulated the participants' practical sense, concluding with a hands-on tour of the club's garden, during which the children planted rose and ghaf tree seedlings themselves, adding a practical, experiential dimension to the theoretical learning they had learned. At the conclusion of the event, Al Dhaid Club honored the outstanding participants and distributed incentive prizes to encourage them to continue their commitment to the environment and agriculture. The winners of the Agriculture Competition, launched in conjunction with the workshop, were also announced, fostering a spirit of positive competition among the children. Muhair Obaid Al Khayal Al Tunaiji, the club's executive director and general supervisor of the summer activities, emphasized that this agricultural activity falls within the framework of Al Dhaid Club's vision to instill environmental awareness among young people and strengthen their connection to the land by providing them with agricultural and afforestation skills. He pointed out that the workshop reflects the Emirate of Sharjah's vision to build an environmentally enlightened generation that actively participates in preserving its nation's resources and contributes to serving its community with a conscious and sustainable sense. He added that the club will continue to organize similar, high-quality events during the summer program, focusing on building life skills and opening up new horizons for participants to engage positively with their surroundings and communities.
