An Indian worker received free ticket from the Ministry of Labour to fly home to spend Eid Al Adha with his family.
Mohammed Rabec was the lucky recipient of the Ministry’s initiative - under the slogan ‘The Happiest Worker’ - to help workers celebrate Eid with their families.
Hussein Al Alili, Director, Government Communication Department, said, “The ministry's initiative came out of concern towards strengthening the cohesion and solidarity among workers as we are keen on taking part in launching various events and programs during special occasions".
“The happiest worker was launched to help a lucky worker go back home and celebrate Eid with his beloved family for a change, especially since we all know that their current economic situations might prevents them from affording an air ticket," Al Alili added.
Rabec who had tears upon receiving the wonderful Eid gift, thanked the ministry and the UAE government for organising such activities which grants poor workers the chance to greet family and friends on such occasions after a very long time.
“The UAE is always keen on protecting workers' rights and has launched several humanitarian initiatives that emphasise to uphold the value of labourers and make them feel part of the community residing in the country," said Rebac.
