Dubai, UAE, January 5, 2017:  Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports, said: “The launch of the UAE Food Bank by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, continues the legacy established by the UAE’s founding father, late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, of serving humanity.

This noble initiative further exemplifies the UAE’s commitment to driving sustainable standards of living for all, supporting philanthropic causes and engaging in humanitarian work. Moreover, the UAE Food Bank, in its endeavour to bring awareness to the value of ‘food’ will motivate governments to come together and alleviate global poverty.
