Qatar Volunteers Iftar Drive
Dear Volunteers
QV is pleased to announce the Iftar drive 2013
From July 30th – August 3rd, 2013
I know all our old friends are well informed about this yearly event, but for the benefit of our new members, I would like to give a short brief on the importance and objectives of the Iftar Distribution Drive.
The campaign is one of the group’s signature events, and was initiated in 2008.
The campaign sees volunteers stationed throughout Doha with care packs of dates, water, juice, and other items at sunset, ready to help people break their fast at Iftar and discourage motorists from rushing to their destination.
The campaign takes place over few days segregated in the collection days, the packing days and then the distribution day itself.
This year our aim is to distribute 4000 care packs to the motorists.
The list of required items is as follows.
4000 pcs Mamoul (date filled) Biscuits
4000 water bottles 250 ml
4000 Dates (crown small packs)
4000 assorted juices
4000 zipper bags
All the Volunteers are requested to come forward and donate generously.

Blister, actually before last year they used to get sponsors like Al Jaber Optics etc but they have a huge group these days they contribute together from their own pocket. It is a good idea.
The volunteers are expected to buy items too?...after volunteering their time and effort in the sun?...lol

Finally you posted. After reading your event link in CS I was thinking why they skipped QL this time.
