Volunteers in Qatar organize Iftar drive

On 4th of July 2015, a group of Qatar Volunteers conducted an iftar drive on Sports Roundabout, Ramada Signal and Airport Signal.

The aim of the iftar drive was to spread awareness among commuters for driving safe and not rushing to reach their home to break the fast by distributing iftar to those stuck in traffic.

The volunteers gathered at the Loyola international school for 2 consecutive days for the collection and packing of the iftar bags.

A large number of volunteers showed up for help and were also provided with Iftar while they packed. Generous amounts of donation were also recieved.

Iftar packets included water bottles, assorted tetrapack juices, small date packs, mamoul biscuits and zipper bags.
Keeping true to the spirit of Ramadan, these volunteers showed great enthusiasm withstanding the high temperature and helping out Muslims to not miss out on breaking of their fast on time.

 

This is a nice idea and let's make a drive to spread this through out the world that Qatar has initiated this kind of act of kindness. Hope people around the world will follow these nice gestures. I'm proud of Qatar.

 

I believe this is an annual activity. Not so long ago we experienced this on our way back to our accommodation, we received these Iftar packets. I was first thinking there was an inspection but they are distributing such kindness to the motorists. True spirit of Ramadan.

 

I had been serving for many events as volunteer, but this was my first hand experience and it was great. Will be doing more such work for the community. insha allah.

 

How to become a volunteer for this kind of event sir @Yusuf Shamim ?
