Sheikh Khalifa bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Private Department of Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan and Chairman of the Wajib Volunteering Association, announced, during a celebration held yesterday, Sheikha Fatima's first place in the award, which is due to her key role and the words of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who said, "Sheikha Fatima succeeded in grasping my goals and ideas, and she transformed these ideas into successful experiences in all areas."
