Sheikh Nahyan’s office is also organising a number of events to entertain the children whilst on their visit, including a trip to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi and a Beach cricket event to be held at Skydive Dubai.

According to the UAE royal’s office, the Sheikh hopes the initiative will bring joy to traumatised students, who were both physically and emotionally assaulted by terrorists on December 16, 2014.

The horrific memory of the attack still brings tears to the eyes, and my thoughts and prayers remain with the friends and families of everyone who was affected by that inhumane act of terror at the APS.
