Each charity has allocated 20 donation boxes each at the Darb El Saai,
Hundreds of people are expected to come by make their donations at the event. In addition, several companies and hotels in Qatar have promised a part of their revenue as donation to Aleppo.
People are free to donate in cash or kind.

Aspire Zone Foundation has decided to donate all income generated from its restaurants, between December 15 and 17, to Qatar Charity.
Let’s all join hands to wipe the tears off the cheeks of our Syrian brothers and sisters.
apparently after funding the so called rebels who shoot at civilians, if you joined Russian hands and helped the legitimate government all this could have been avoided, you have to take responsibilities for your actions and remember, the yanks can't be trusted, the other day Iraq, Afghan, Libya and today it's Syria have you wondered who''ll be next?
