Dar Al Ber Society will raise funds and receive the amounts agreed upon with Dubai Taxi Corporation , which were collected from employees and cabdrivers, in the form of monthly transfers, contributions of periodic campaigns, or the proceeds of fund raising boxes distributed within the premises and facilities of the DTC as per the applicable procedures in order to deposit them in a Fund set for implementing charitable activities inside and outside the UAE.
