Designs by students and pupils with disabilities that shine a special light during the Eid Al Fitr celebrations have been selected to feature on Amazon’s online gift cards for the festival.
A glowing lantern with an Eid Mubarak message has been painted by a student from Dubai’s Rashid Centre for People of Determination in Dubai.
The second work capturing the UAE custom of families celebrating Eid in a park was created by a group of eight pupils from the centre working together.
Zainab Chaudry Naveed, a young artist with developmental delays, is thrilled her individual work featuring a bright lantern was picked.
Ms Naveed, 20, said yellow is her favourite colour and the “shining light” drew her to paint the orange lantern.
“I like to paint. For Eid we celebrate with family. I like colours — to put on henna — and I love the colour yellow,” said Ms Naveed.
Those attending the art class have a range of conditions, including cerebral palsy, autism and sensory, learning and physical disabilities.
