So, who better than the unassuming Majid Rashed Al Usaimi to champion the cause of children’s rights? The Emirati was appointed the UNICEF’s first National Ambassador from the UAE during a ceremony at the Dubai Sports Council’s (DSC) offices at Dubai Design District on Monday. “I’m happy and honoured with this appointment,” Al Usaimi said after the official announcement. Al Usaimi later went on to manage the UAE athletics team at the Athletics World Championships in Birmingham in 1998. Of course, we will focus the education and health programmes for them, empowering them with sports and other activities,” Al Usaimi added.
