Thani Juma Berregad, Chairman of the Board at the Dubai Club for People of Determination, said, "The summer camp was a delightful experience for all members of the club who were able to showcase and in turn improve many of their skills. The club’s members are always aspiring to compete at the local level though they often dream of doing so internationally as well. Fortunately, this has been possible for some of them who have competed and starred in various international events and competitions. Their unique achievements are a source of great pride for us here at the club."
