HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai announced the search for an Arab Hope Maker in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The search for an inspirational volunteer from across the Arab world saw many deserving people recognised and the finalists were chosen from over 65,000 submissions from 22 countries.<\/p>\n
In a ceremony last night Nawal Al Soufi from Morocco was named the first Arab Hope Maker<\/h3>\n
Al Soufi was chosen as the deserving winner for her efforts in helping migrants and refugees lost at sea.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The inspirational winner, who does not switch off her phone as she receives hundreds calls from those in need of her help each day, was joined by four other finalists.<\/p>\n
