ESMA, the sole standardization body in the UAE, distributed gifts and spent quality time with the children under the center's care and supervision.

Customer Service Head Mr. Ali Al Haj headed the ESMA's delegation who were also given a tour at the center's facilities and classrooms.

The initiative is in line with ESMA's commitment to deepen its ties with the community as well as reinforce its values of compassion, communication, and promotion of solidarity among all segments of society.

Towards the end of the tour, the ESMA delegation joined the children in their various games and activities.

Ahmed Saif Al Ali, in charge of Governmental Communications at ESMA, said the Authority carries out a lot of activities and events throughout the year to serve the community and non-profit organizations.

Of particular interest to ESMA are institutions for the disabled as they play a major and vital role in helping adults and children with disabilities overcome their difficulties and become productive members of the society.
 
ESMA has taken up a leading role in ensuring that different sectors in the UAE are able to reach quality standard of living. 

The Dubai Autism Center's unique mission of helping children with special needs, ESMA said, must be complemented to ensure that they get the best help available and for them to be successfully integrated into the UAE mainstream society.
