As many as 146 Grade 9 and Grade 10 students from the Army Public School, Peshawar received a royal welcome under the patronage of Sheikh Nahyan bin Hamdan at the Dubai International Airport on Thursday.
A team from the UAE royal’s office received the students who arrived in Dubai as part of Pakistan Super League being held in the UAE.
Students were flown to the UAE for showing support to the PSL team, Peshawar Zalmi.
Sheikh Nahyan’s office is also organising a number of events to entertain the children whilst on their visit, including a trip to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi and a Beach cricket event to be held at Skydive Dubai.
According to the UAE royal’s office, the Sheikh hopes the initiative will bring joy to traumatised students, who were both physically and emotionally assaulted by terrorists on December 16, 2014.
