As the UAE proudly celebrates 54 years of unity on Eid Al Etihad, AMIT International Group joined the nation in honoring this remarkable journey — a journey defined by resilience, vision, and the unwavering spirit of togetherness. In the heart of these celebrations, Garmin Fitness Fest (GFF) brought an unforgettable day of energy, movement, and joy to the Dubai Autism Center, reflecting our commitment to community, inclusion, and holistic wellbeing.
The UAE’s story is one of ambition and unity, and at AMIT, we have always believed in contributing to this national spirit through initiatives that empower, uplift, and connect people. This year’s GFF activation at Dubai Autism Center was a beautiful reflection of that commitment.
A Day Filled With Spirit, Smiles, and Strength
As the event began, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. The students eagerly stepped into a carefully designed circuit of sports and movement challenges, each tailored to build confidence, focus, coordination, and — most importantly — joy.
The activities included:
- Balance Walks
- Hurdle Jumps
- Hula-Hoop Zones
- Cone Walks
- Target Throws
- Zig-zag Runs
- Balance Beam Walks
Each station invited students to challenge themselves in a fun, supportive environment, with AMIT and Garmin teams cheering them on every step of the way. Every activity was planned not just as a physical challenge, but as a moment to celebrate the unique strengths, abilities, and determination of each student.
Their enthusiasm filled the space — every clap, every cheer, and every smile reflected the true spirit of Eid Al Etihad: unity, pride, and shared celebration.
Sports as a Pathway to Confidence and Independence
At AMIT, we have always believed deeply in the transformational power of sports and movement. Physical activity is not just about fitness — it builds emotional strength, enhances focus, shapes discipline, and creates bonds that transcend differences.
For students of determination, sport becomes an even more meaningful tool, empowering them to express themselves, build self-confidence, and explore their capabilities in joyful and supportive ways.
This belief is what drives our collaboration with Garmin and our recurring commitment to community-based fitness initiatives.
During the event, the importance of movement could be seen in every step the students took — the careful balance on a beam, the triumphant jump over a hurdle, the focused gaze before a target throw. These were not just sports activities; they were moments of self-discovery and pride.
A Celebration of Inclusion Under the UAE Flag
Hosting GFF on such a significant national occasion added a deeper emotional layer to the event. Eid Al Etihad celebrates the unification of the Emirates — a union rooted in collaboration, vision, and compassion.
In many ways, the day at Dubai Autism Center echoed those same values.
The UAE proudly leads the region in promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and opportunities for all. The event stood as a tribute to that national commitment, bringing students, teachers, supporters, and AMIT team members together in one shared space of celebration.
The joy in the room was unmistakable — a collective reminder that unity is built not just through policies or milestones, but through small, meaningful acts of coming together, understanding one another, and celebrating every individual for who they are.
Honoring Spirit and Effort with Garmin Watches
To celebrate the extraordinary effort and enthusiasm displayed throughout the activities, Garmin watches were gifted to the winners — a gesture of appreciation and encouragement from AMIT and Garmin.
For the students, the moment was magical. Their excitement while receiving the watches symbolized more than just winning a competition; it represented recognition, motivation, and belief in their potential.
These watches serve as a companion in their ongoing journey of growth — inspiring them to keep moving, keep exploring, and continue striving to #BeatYesterday. For many of them, this simple gesture marked a milestone they will carry forward with pride.
AMIT’s Commitment to Community and Empowerment
For over four decades, AMIT International Group has proudly aligned itself with the UAE’s values — innovation, unity, and service. We remain committed not only to advancing technology and marine solutions across the region, but also to contributing meaningfully to the communities we serve.
Events like Garmin Fitness Fest at Dubai Autism Center remind us of the strength that comes from kindness, collaboration, and empowerment. They reaffirm our belief that corporate responsibility is not simply an obligation — it is an opportunity to create lasting impact.
Our partnership with Garmin continues to deepen this commitment, enabling us to bring health, wellbeing, and inclusivity initiatives to different parts of the community.
Inspiration for the Future
As the UAE celebrates 54 years of extraordinary progress, AMIT looks toward the future with renewed purpose. The nation continues to inspire with its dedication to building a society where everyone — regardless of background or ability — has the opportunity to thrive.
This event was a small yet meaningful contribution to that vision. It reminded us that unity is built through everyday acts of support, encouragement, and shared celebration.
We look forward to continuing our journey of community engagement and expanding initiatives that empower individuals through movement, wellbeing, and personal growth.
Closing Thoughts
The Garmin Fitness Fest activation at Dubai Autism Center was more than a fitness event — it was a day of joy, connection, and collective celebration. It honored the UAE’s legacy of unity and reflected AMIT’s unwavering commitment to inclusion and community empowerment.
As we move forward, we remain inspired by the students’ enthusiasm, the UAE’s visionary spirit, and the belief that every step forward — no matter how small — brings us closer to a more inclusive and connected world.
Here’s to unity. Here’s to movement. Here’s to celebrating every stride — together.
