Dubai, UAE, June 13, 2016: The Pullman Dubai Jumeirah Lakes Towers, as part of the AccorHotels Planet 21 initiatives and Ramadan 2016 activities, in collaboration with ZeeArts Community and Senses Residential and Day Care Centre for Special Needs recently launched the Charity Art Project under the theme “Little Picasso”.

I would like to commend the volunteer-artists who joined us for this project - for their support and willingness to make a difference in these children’s lives. We at Pullman will strive to ensure that the Little Picasso project will be held annually as part of our brands promise to support local art.”
The Activist-Artist, the head of ZeeArts Community, Ms. Zaahirah Muthy said: “Ramadan resonates with universal values. This momentous month makes people conscientious about the way they treat others and reminds them of the significance of making sacrifices and putting others before themselves. It is about being responsible and contributing to the overall good of society which we believe in collaboration with Pullman Dubai JLT we did successfully with this beautiful project.”
Commenting on the event, Mr. Khalil Abdulwahid, an Emirati Artist – Dubai Art and Culture stated: “This is such a beautiful initiative of ZeeArts Community to involve local artists to engage with special needs children.
