“The princess herself honoured the winners of the sixth PHASE at a grand ceremony held at the Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai on Tuesday,” Jivanjee said.
The IBP was nominated in two categories, the second one being ‘Distinguished Board Member’ for Habiba Habib, president, in recognition of 32 years of “selfless service” in the special needs sector, she added.
The IBP is one of the country’s pioneering organisations which has been offering diverse psychology-based services to children, adults & institutions since 1985.
