June: The sun is out again, so let’s talk about happier things.

June 2024

Note from the editor, Purva Grover

As the summer break in the UAE approaches, it's a time filled with anticipation. Many of us who consider the UAE our second home, are preparing to visit our loved ones. Are you eagerly packing your bags for a reunion or embarking on an adventure to explore a new destination? We're eager to hear about your plans for the coming weeks. If you’re staying back, explore the hidden gems in Dubai and discover new destinations as a tourist. And remember, there are exciting summer camps to join, or you can use this time to create something original for The Junior Trumpet.

Poetry is a cherished part of our community, and each month, we are privileged to receive a flood of poems across various themes. We are genuinely in awe of your talent and how you eloquently address even the most severe issues with simplicity and clarity. This month, we were moved by your reflections on the beauty of sisterhood and faith, and your tributes to the strength of women. Your work is truly commendable.

As a few of you prepare for higher studies, we bring tips from an expert on making friends in the university. Please tell us what you think, and send us any questions you have for our expert columnists on board. Your dedication to expressing yourself through art is inspiring, and The Junior Trumpet wall and other pages in the magazine are examples of that. 

In other big news, we've launched our portal, thejuniortrumpet.com, and we invite you to visit it. We continue to be on Instagram and our new social media channels: LinkedIn and Facebook.

As always, we're eager to hear from you, and we encourage you to own this space and color it with your thoughts. This is your canvas, your notebook — use it to share your talent with one and all.

Until we meet next, keep reading, shining, and creating.
