Playing a role in a young child’s healing process was very gratifying. Having visited Mafraq Hospital to meet children in the paediatric ward who were overly happy to get out of their rooms to gather at the “Wanna Read?” room, reminded me of the importance of being together. Hospitalised children need a change of scenery alongside their round of treatment, and the “Wanna Read?” room provides them with that. It’s full of colours, books and activities that help children enjoy the play area. I am confident that our twofour54 staff would be delighted to dedicate their time to putting smiles on the faces of hospitalised children. I am very honoured to have collaborated with “Wanna Read?” as part of the #United4UAE initiative to give back to the community and look forward to making a positive impact on the children’s future.
