The Olcott Schools Alumni in the UAE proudly hosted the 2024 Sir Olcott Annual Commemoration at Dubai Lankarayama on Friday, 16th February 2024. Starting at 7 pm, the event was a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of late Col. Henry Steel Olcott, featuring a traditional Buddhist blessing ceremony, tribute speeches, and cultural performances. It was singular that this year’s event was held in the wake of the 117th death anniversary of Sir Henry Steele Olcott.
Initiated in 2011, this commemorative function has become a cherished annual tradition. It serves to honor Sir Olcott’s contributions to education and the community, strengthening the bonds among alumni and reinforcing their commitment to his enduring vision.
