Bernard Dunn, President of Boeing Middle East, North Africa & Turkey was also in attendance and said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure hosting this event and watching these kids sharing their excitement, exchanging ideas and learning new skills with individuals seven to eight times their age.

Kindness, understanding, and respect are fundamental pillars to the betterment of any community and today’s event was a great example of how every member of society has a part to play in the country’s development.”
