European Orphan Hand gives iftar dinner to poor in Burundi
The European Orphan Hand, a Mannheim-based international aid organization, is continuing its humanitarian efforts in Burundi.
The organization has been providing aid to flood victims, children in orphanages, and now, offering iftar dinners to thousands of people for four consecutive days.
At the most recent iftar dinner, which was attended by 500 people, children were thrilled to find chocolates, lollipops, and balloons next to their plates.
The organization has also distributed cash, clothing, copies of the Holy Qur'an, blankets, and meat obtained from sacrificial animals donated by benefactors to those in need.
Volunteers participated in the iftar preparations that started in the morning and had the opportunity to both see the work done on-site and help with it.
Nizamettin Aygan, a European Orphan Hand volunteer, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share iftar with their brothers in Burundi during Ramadan, adding that they were currently cooking rice, meat, and red beans in 12 cauldrons and planned to offer iftar to thousands of people in the evening.
