On November 28th, 2011 the Canadian University of Dubai celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the United Arab Emirates. Students, friends and family joined together on campus in various representations of UAE culture. The Islamic Culture students prepared booths to represent the 7 emirates. There was henna painting, traditional music and dancing and much more. There was also a Silent Auction created to raise funds for the Paediatric Rashid Therapy Centre. Thousands of dirhams were raised for the centre through gift and prizing donations made from several companies in Dubai including Duplays Sports, Dubai Drums, Rashid Paediatric Centre, u:print, Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, Dubai Dolphinarium, Short Cutz Gents Salon, Rolling Stone Magazine, Zataar W Zeit, Cinnabon, and Seattle's Best Coffee. Please join us in thanking them for their contribution to raise money for the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre and to making the Canadian University of Dubai National Day Celebrations a success.
