The inaugural clothing drive at CSS occurred in March 2011. It was a great achievement as employees from different offices in the United Arab Emirates contributed on a large scale and we were able to collect the clothes, which weighed approximately 225 kgs. CSS senior management has always supported these activities to cultivate the culture in employees to be socially responsible. The collection of clothes has been donated to The Dubai Center for Special Needs-Dubai Charity Centre for onward distribution to those who are less fortunate. On May 31st, 2011 with the support of CSS Homeward Bound (Personal Effects Management of CSS) the clothing was transported to The Dubai Center for Special Needs-Dubai Charity Centre and handed over to Elizabeth Operations Supervisor & Delhna Cama Public Relations Coordinator.
Amith Horra Marketing Manager, CSS and Deepu S Dev Marketing Coordinator represented CSS Group for the CSR initiative. “We are pleased to be associated with The Dubai Center for Special Needs and we look forward to engaging in other activities to continually build upon our CSR initiatives at CSS. I would like to thank everyone involved in the clothing drive because without your support this would not be possible,” added Amith Horra.
The Dubai Center for Special Needs is an established, non-profitable institution that provides the highest standards of service in specialized education and therapy, for children with various disabilities. It is a caring environment, largely dependent on the generosity of the local communities and corporations. Its aim is to provide each and every one of its students the key to a positive life, thereby “Lighting the path to a brighter future”. They provide academic assistance and after that concentrate on prevocational training taking them to various organizations within Dubai for work experience and finally help them to gain employment within the community and to take their rightful place in this world which is their moral right.
