Valtrans was one of the organizations who supported the event conducted by Dubai Airports as it raises funds for Orbis flying eye hospital. 

Dubai Airports and its partners have raised AED 1.25 million (approximately US$ 340,600) for Orbis, the international eye care charity organisation best known for its flying eye hospital, through their ‘Your Sight, Our Happiness’ campaign.
