Below is some words written about Sheikh Zayed by Janani Meegama of year 11:
"His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was the ruler of Abu Dhabi and was the first ever president of UAE. For the people of UAE, he was not just another ‘Sheikh’ or a ‘president’. He was the visionary of UAE, the driving force behind the success of country, and most importantly, the father of the nation. He brought together the 7 Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujeirah and Ras Al Khaima), and formed one nation which now we know as the United Arab Emirates.
In 1971, he was appointed as the president of UAE, and he ruled the UAE for over 33 years. During his time as the president, Sheikh Zayed brought remarkable changes to the country and accomplished many great goals he had set for UAE. Some of this includes the ‘Falaj System’ built in Al-ain, the first oil export from Abu Dhabi, and the establishment of educational institutes for women all over the UAE.
It was his wise vision and guidance that led UAE to develop from dirt roads to paved highways and become one of the top visited countries in the world. His down to earth personality was one of the many great traits that truly made him the father of the nation. With more than 50 skyscrapers, UAE is also considered as one of the best tourist destinations in the world. All this, however, would have not been possible without the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Zayed, who provided the country with the infrastructure on which it could develop. On the 2nd of November 2004, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan passed away. The mausoleum of the late Sheikh Zayed is now located beside the His Highness Sheikh Zayed grand mosque.
Even today, his portraits decorate the roads and buildings of UAE, as a reminder of all the developments and changes he brought in to the country and how he made UAE what it is today.
And it is no doubt that everyone in UAE owes it all to our founding father of the nation; His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan."
The students also took part in creating attractive posters about His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his spectacular and praise worthy work as a successful ruler.

43 years ago, 7 emirates joined together to become one nation. And today, it is still thriving as one of the most leading nations of not only the middle east, but also in the world. The P.S.H.C.E.E. students of the Winchester school took part in various activities to convey how proud they are to be living in a country where development is never stopped.
The students have dedicated a special wall to the founding father of the nation: His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. The wall consisted of information regarding the changes that was brought to the UAE by our father of the nation along with a timeline of the various developments.
