This gesture reflects the true spirit of Ramadan and we thank the parents, teachers and students of the Children’s Garden for this special CSR donation.” These young children continue to surprise us with their artistic talents and their joy and expression of care to people in need. The Children’s Garden have been an ardent supporter of 4get-me-not since its inception and have been constant in their charitable giving over the last decade. Desiree Vlekken, Founder and CEO of 4get-me-not org said of the school’s presentation “We are absolutely thrilled and delighted to receive this amazing gesture. The donation will be used to further support those who live with this mysterious and debilitating disease, and to continue to promote understanding within the community. It proved to be a resounding success and testament to the sheer excellence in artistic talent being demonstrated by the students of The Children’s Garden.Ĥget-me-not, is a non-profit organisation which aims to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and improve quality of life for patients, families and caregivers in the UAE. The donation was made during a ceremony at the Jumeira pre-school on Tuesday 23 rd June, witnessed by parents, faculty and stakeholders of 4get-me-not. The Children’s Garden, a Dubai based pre-school, leading provider of creative arts based education in the UAE, and proponent of charitable giving, presented today a cheque for the amount of 6,000 AED (six thousand dirham’s) to 4get-me-not, an organisation committed to raising awareness of Alzheimer’s disease in the UAE.

The creative works, a collection of art inspired by the great artists of our time, is the annual “Caravan of Colours” initiative by the Taaleem pre-school and proved to be their best year yet.

The silent auction also produced a record sale for one collective work created by students aged 5 and 6 years which fetched 3,000 AED alone. Proceeds raised from the sale of selected children’s creative art works, donated to one local non-profit, is the culmination of the academic year for a Jumeira based pre-school.
