UNIVERSITY CITY, SHARJAH – The American University of Sharjah is approaching the final countdown for its “Get Active for Education” event.

This year’s fund has a special focus on sponsoring students from Gaza.
The event will consist of four activities: a four-kilometer walkathon challenge; a tug-of-war contest; alumni versus student football and basketball matches, and prize raffles. Participation is free of charge.
The program is set to start on April 29 from 5 p.m. onwards at the AUS Sports Complex.
