A delegation from Emirates Authority for Standardisation and Metrology (Esma), the UAE’s standardisation body, distributed gifts and spent quality time with the children at the Dubai Autism Centre (DAC), a non-profit organisation in the UAE serving children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Customer Service Head Ali Al Haj headed Esma’s delegation that was also given a tour at the centre’s facilities and classrooms. Esma said in a media statement that the initiative is in line with its commitment to deepen ties with the community as well as reinforce its values of compassion, communication, and promotion of solidarity among all segments of society.

Sarah Ahmad Baqer, Head of the Community Service Unit at the DAC, welcomed the Esma team and explained to them the services the centre provides to children with special needs. Towards the end of the tour, the authority’s delegation joined the children in their various games and activities.

Ahmed Saif Al Ali, in charge of Governmental Communications at Esma, said the authority carries out a number of activities and events throughout the year to serve the community and non-profit organisations. Of particular interest to Esma are institutions for the disabled as they play a major and vital role in helping adults and children with disabilities overcome their difficulties and become productive members of the society.
