Ramadan Care Packages for Labourers
RAMADAN CARE PACKAGES FOR LABOURERS
The Holy month of Ramadan is in full swing with Muslims and Non Muslims alike according to the due respect attributed to it. The spirit of Ramadan is of restraint, sacrifice and caring. GOD (Allah) is not keen to keep us hungry but this exercise has been planned to shake our conscience to develop realization of lending a helping hand to those who are less privileged amongst us.
It is with this purpose that we thought of making a contribution towards humanity by organizing a community event which would help us to lend a helping hand to those who really need it. We all are witness to the fact that the laborers working in horrible summers of Qatar are the most hardworking class and yet the most underprivileged. It would thus be a way not only to provide them with some basic amenities of life but to show our gratitude to the efforts put in by them.The aim of Ramadan Care Packages is to give these men a gift of dignity to show them that even though they are away from their families,there are still people who CARE.
We have identified few labour camps that would benefit from our initiative and if the target is overshot, we might include few more labour camps in our plan. Initially we plan to generate around 200 Ramadan care packages each costing merely a contribution of around 200 QR . Imagine making a difference in some one’s life for an entire month with an amount which is less than a dinner meal with our family.Each package will contain
One months ration.
Toiletries.
Bed linen.
Misc Items
Details can b furnished upon request.
You are requested to deliver these goods to us latest by 16th of Sep or you can give us an amount of QR 200 and we will send you an original receipt of all goods purchased from your money. We plan to develop the packing and delivery of packages as a community event and so an early delivery of goods/money will help us to arrange the event in a proper way. We plan to do that on the 18th of Sep starting from 0800 hours at Al khor community for Qatargas and RasGas. The event will be held at Al Waha Club’s Ramadan Tent. Everyone is welcome to attend it along with their children as we all want to develop love for humanity in our children and by helping elders in packing they’ll feel proud of their contribution in this noble cause. Owing to the sanctity of Ramadan, we won’t be able to offer refreshments to participants but children will obviously be looked after. You can deposit these items maximum by the 16th of August at the below mentioned addresses:-
Doha : Flat No. B-9, Sana R/A, Behind Kebab King Restaurant, Ras Abou Aboud.
Al Khor:Villa B-505, Al Khor Community for Qatargas and RasGas
You can get in touch with me any time via email [email protected] or via my mobile +974-6043103.
Lets join hands to make this noble cause a success.

Regards, BushraAli.

Just visit labour camps of small private companies and u'll come to know that the situation is not as bright as u percieve.Imagine the life of a labourer who earns 700 QR per month out of which he spends 200-250 on his own self and send the rest to his family back home in his country.Dont u think it would go wd the spirit of ramadan to help him sending more money to his family as we will take care of his one month's personal expenses.He cant hav a better eid gift than a thought that there r still people other than his family who care for him.
yes employers r supposed to do all this but unfortunately they r not fullfilling their responsibilities.This is the least we can do to help them,even a thought about helping them can make a huge difference.
We need ur help in achieving the target of 200 packages ech costing QR 200 for one labourer.Each package contains
1. Rations

5. 1 x Hala Card (50 QR). A nice way to connect these guys with their loved ones. Nothing can compare to the joy of staying in touch with Family and Friends.
Packing Costs

U can either get these things yourself and deliver the package to us or deposit the cash latest by 16th of september and join us in the packaging event which will b held at ALWAHA CLUB RAMADAN TENT IN Alkhor Community for QatarGas on 18th september,2009.
Thanx alot for ur interest,even a thought can make a huge difference in somebody's life.
Lets bring a change.
Qatar is sooooo rich, how can there be needy people? Haram!
Its will be wise to engage their employers in this project who are suppose to be more proactive in welfare and care. Not just in the month of Ramadan but through out the year.
Good to see coming up with good cause, please send me details as to what and where help is required.
