More Than a Day: What We Took Home from the Al Noor Family Funfair

Some days remind us why purpose matters.

Today, something special happened at the Al Noor Family Funfair.

It wasn’t just about serving fresh juices or hosting activities. It was about watching children proudly show the fruit crafts they made… seeing students smile as colours came alive using fruits and vegetables… and feeling the warmth of a community coming together with genuine care.

At NRTC, we were honoured to spend the day with Al Noor Training Centre for People of Determination, engaging with families and students through simple, joyful experiences rooted in health, creativity, and inclusion.

Through our fresh juice and pre-cut fruit stall, 50% of the day’s proceeds were dedicated to supporting Al Noor’s students. But the true value of the day went far beyond numbers.

It was in the conversations.
The laughter.
The small moments that stayed with us long after the event ended.

This is what community looks like when purpose leads the way.

Thank you to the Al Noor team, our volunteers, and every family who shared this day with us. We are grateful — and inspired.

More Than a Day: What We Took Home from the Al Noor Family Funfair

Some days stay with you — not because of what you planned, but because of what you felt.

For the NRTC team, our participation at the Al Noor Family Funfair was one of those days.

As we spent time with students, families, and educators at Al Noor Training Centre for People of Determination, it became clear that the most meaningful moments are often the simplest ones.

Purpose in Practice

Our role at the event was intentionally designed around engagement and inclusion. From our fresh juice and pre-cut fruit stall — where 50% of the proceeds were donated to support Al Noor’s students — to fruit crafting and creative painting activities, every interaction was meant to be accessible, joyful, and human.

But beyond the activities, what stood out was the sense of belonging.

Why This Matters to Us

At NRTC, our work begins with fresh produce, but it does not end there. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to nourish communities — not only through what they supply, but through how they show up.

This event reinforced something important for us:
Impact doesn’t always come from scale.
Sometimes, it comes from presence.

Looking Ahead

Our collaboration with the Al Noor Training Centre for People of Determination is part of a broader commitment to inclusion, health, and community engagement. It is a journey we are proud to continue — thoughtfully, consistently, and with heart.To the Al Noor team, our volunteers, and every family who shared the day with us — thank you for reminding us what truly matters.
