Sharjah 24: On July 14, 2025, the Al Hamriyah Cultural and Sports Club kicked off the third week of the Sharjah Summer Sports Festival, themed "Our Holiday is Different," with the slogan "I Am the Community."

In a unique experience, participants had the chance to visit the Al Hamriyah Fishermen's Cooperative Society for an event called the "Al Hamriyah Fisherman" initiative. This special day was attended by Salem Al Mahrazi, the Director of the Sharjah Fisheries Authority, and Mr. Jamal Al Shamsi, the Chairman of the Society.

During the visit, participants learned about traditional fishing methods and got to see local fishing tools, like the "gargoor," as part of an effort to teach them about the UAE's culture and heritage.

The day's activities also featured a workshop on improving digital living, run by the Social Services Department of Al Hamriyah Area Council. Additionally, a session called "Hand in Hand," led by Haya Al Qassim, a trainer from Dar Shams who specializes in thinking skills, was included. Participants enjoyed various sports like football and archery, along with fun activities such as playing in a soap stadium.

Issa Bin Rukun, a Board Member of Al Hamriyah Club and Chairman of the Cultural and Community Committee, mentioned that the main aims of "I Am the Community" Week are to foster connections within the community and promote cultural understanding among participants, aligning with the UAE's declaration of 2025 as the "Year of the Community.
