Alongside Rowda al-Otaiba, Deputy UAE Ambassador to the UK, the students trekked through England's Peak District to raise funds for the British team participating in the Special Olympics in Abu Dhabi.

The hike was part of a series of activities by Emiratis in the UK in support of the Special Olympics, which is set to start on March 14.
