UAE Students Help Build Homes For Humanity

ABU DHABI // Pupils and a teacher from the American Community School (ACS) are using their holidays to build homes for needy families in Jordan and Sri Lanka through an international volunteer organisation, Habitat for Humanity.

“These experiences are so humbling and helpful to getting me out of the bubble I live in in Abu Dhabi,” said high-school teacher Melissa Dertian, who accompanied 22 pupils ages 16 to 18 on the trip to Sri Lanka. Details
