I can’t remember how I came across this blog (twitter maybe?) but I’m so glad I did!

This blog documents a project going on in Abu Dhabi, where a lady goes on collecting food from houses in the Capital and serving it in Iftar tents, Masjids or even outdoor gatherings, helping those who aren’t well off to break their fast during this holy month of Ramadan.

The idea might not sound new where many families tend to send food to nearby Masjids for the group Iftars, but what’s amazing about this particular project is the fact that the young lady leading it is a fellow Christian! .. She & some volunteers handle the Iftar from A to Z where they pass by the houses, collect the food & drop it at various iftar points where then many people get to have a heart warming iftar with eachother.

Do check out the blog for more details and photos of her project, & if your in AD, you might like to take part in it!

May she and all the volunteers be rewarded Inshallah

It is embarrassing to see how we’re feasting during the month of Ramadhan while others have nothing to live on.. it’s embarassing how we get to wake up for Suhoor before fajr prayer and eat some more while thousands don’t even make it to the next day..

Let us help our brothers and sisters in Somalia.. No matter how little your contribution is, it’ll make a huge difference to those in need..
