This Ramadan, Qatar Volunteers once again demonstrated their commitment to community service by organising their annual Iftar campaign.
With the dedicated efforts of dozens of volunteers, more than 2,500 Iftar packets were distributed to motorists on the streets and at key traffic signals across the city.
The initiative aimed not only to provide essential sustenance during the fasting period but also to raise awareness about safe driving practices, particularly during the rush to break the fast. By offering motorists Iftar packs, the volunteers encouraged them to take their time and drive safely, emphasising the importance of reaching their loved ones without endangering themselves or others on the road.
The campaign, which has become a cherished tradition for Qatar Volunteers, marks its 15th consecutive year under the leadership of our founder, Sayed Ali, affectionately known as Speed O Ali. Since its inception in 2008, the Iftar Drive Campaign has been a beacon of compassion and community spirit, inspiring similar initiatives by various groups and individuals throughout the city.
This year’s campaign received invaluable support from Riaz Bakali, Director of TNG Schools, who generously provided storage space for the Iftar items and facilitated the packing process. Additionally, Asif Khawaja graciously hosted an Iftar dinner for all the volunteers involved in the initiative, further exemplifying the spirit of solidarity and gratitude that defines Qatar Volunteers.
Qatar Volunteers is a dynamic group of residents dedicated to organising various community activities throughout the year, including blood donation drives, beach clean-up efforts, and disaster relief initiatives, both locally and internationally, in collaboration with other NGOs.
