Doha: Students from Deen Club and Volunteering Club at University of Doha for Science and Technology with their partners served meals for 450 workers on campus during Iftar time.
The initiative aims to reach workers at UDST from different campus divisions such as safety and security, housekeeping, maintenance, civil and more.
Students had the pleasure of organizing the packed boxes and distributing them to workers who were seated at the University’s cafeterias. Such initiatives engage the youth, teach them valuable skills and help them understand the true meaning of Ramadan and the importance of volunteering in providing a sense of community.
Dr. Salem Al-Naemi, President of UDST said: “The University supports all acts of kindness that our students practice and that can be greatly rewarding to them and to those who receive them. While many of us gather at home to share Ramadan Iftars, for many shift workers it is not that simple to break their fast. We wanted to show our appreciation to UDST’s workers and to all the hard work and efforts they put into their jobs even during fasting hours.” Suhoor and Iftar are two elements of Ramadan that have great significance to all worshipers. It is a manifestation of solidarity and fellowship. UDST has always been committed to the community causes and has worked relentlessly to encourage volunteering and actions that make a difference.
