Clean Up the World Campaign
The Community Service Club took part in the Clean Up the World Campaign in association with Dubai Municipality.
Clean Up the World is a global campaign that inspires and empowers communities to clean up, fix up and conserve their environment. Held in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme, it mobilises an estimated 35 million people across 130 countries each year.
Dubai Municipality’s patronage of the annual voluntary campaign “Clean Up the World” is a clear evidence of the pioneer role it plays in adopting unique community activities and events aimed at protecting the environment and instilling a sense of collective responsibility in the society towards a safe and sound environment.
The Community Service Club was very proud to take part in such an important initiative and volunteered in cleaning up the area around Umm Ramool.
