Abu Dhabi: A charity night was held at Hydra Open Air Cinema in Abu Dhabi as part of 'donate a brick campaign' for the expansion of the Special Care Center school for children.

The event, held under the patronage of Sheikha Shamma Bint Mohammad Al Nahyan was organised by Wolfgang Amadeus Bruelhart, Ambassador of Switzerland, and Isabelle Le Bon, Head of Good Heart.
