Special tales

Talented and enthusiastic children gave a heartwarming performance on Friday at the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (Cultural Foundation).

The 66 children from the Special Care Centre (SCC) danced their hearts out while performing 1001 Arabian Nights stories and an opening act organised by the SCC and Good-Heart.

Tales of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, Sindbad and Ali Baba and 40 Thieves came alive on stage.

Aged between 3 and 18, the children were performing to raise funds for much-needed new premises.

They managed to raise around Dh100,000, but a total of Dh20 million will be needed.
