About the Cause
Dubai Cares’ Walk for Education is a symbolic three kilometer walk that aims to highlight one of the challenges children face in acquiring quality education in developing countries where they have to walk an average of three kilometers every day in order to go to school. We have so far organized 10 editions of the “Walk for Education”
My Story
This will be my first time in the big kid school. I will ride on a bus to school in the morning. My mom or dad will wave goodbye, and blow me a kiss while I look out the window. I will miss my family, but someone will be waiting for me when I finish school. I may cry a little, but that is okay. I will feel better after a few days. When I get off the bus, I will get in line with my class. My teacher will meet me at door. I am happy to see my new classroom. When I walk into my classroom, I will find my cubby with my name on it and put my things inside. My new classroom has so many fun things to do. There are toys, books, and computers. I will meet new friends. I may feel scared about meeting new friends, but I will be friendly and say hello. I will learn how to read, write, and do math in my classroom. YEAH! Other days, I will walk with my classmates to go to the gym or the art room. It may be hard for me to have a new teacher, but I will be okay. At lunchtime my class will walk to the cafeteria to eat. It may be very crowded and noisy. That’s okay! Everyone is just having fun. After a few days I will get use to the noise. After lunch I will go outside to the playground. YEAH! At the end of the day, I will say goodbye to my new friends and teacher and get back on the bus to go home. I will be happy to see mom and dad. I had a great first day at school.
