UAE - Showing appreciation to hundreds of volunteers who helped the UAE authorities combat Covid-19 on various fronts and even contracted the virus themselves while volunteering, the Dubai Police delivered surprise gift packs to their homes.
The gift pack included a beautiful flower bouquet, a branded watch and an assorted pack of chocolates.
One of the volunteers who received the gift was eminent Indian social worker Naseer Vatanappally, who tested positive for Covid-19 last month, and made complete recovery from the infection in about two weeks. Vatanappally has helped hundreds if not thousands of residents of Al Naif and Al Ras with supplies of food and other essential matters.
Expressing his gratitude on being rewarded by the Dubai Police, Vatanappally said: "My sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. Hearty thanks to the entire team of the Dubai Health Authority too."
He added: "It was really an honor to receive such an amazing gift from the government of the UAE, for considering our involvement in the efforts towards combating Covid-19. I feel proud and privileged at this moment, and still look forward to serve this country which makes people from all nationalities feel at home."
