Spreading
HOPE during the Month of Sacrifice
Eid al-Adha or "Festival of Sacrifice" is an important
religious holiday celebrated by Muslims all over the world to commemorate the
willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isma'il) as an
act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a ram to
sacrifice instead. During this month Muslims, all
around the world, reach out and share the meat with others, especially with the
poor.
Many impoverished in our country hardly get a chance to eat a
proper meal. They are always waiting for the month of sacrifice to be able to
eat a fulfilling meal in order to satiate their hunger. HOPE, in continuation
of its efforts to help the poor, distributed meat amongst twenty thousand nine
hundred and fifteen families out of which one thousand families were given meat
in Thatta, five hundred families were given meat in Badin, two hundred families
were given meat in Sujjawal, six fifty families were given meat in Karachi
including areas such as Bilal Colony, Mujahid Colony, Manzoor Colony, Bhittiabad, Sachal
Goth, Abdullah Shah Gazi Goth, Ghagger, Link road, Gadaap and Rahri, Eight
hundred and fifteen families were given meat in
Muzzaffargarh and two fifty
families were given meat in
Muzzafarabad. Many of these families were the ones who do not even know where their next meal will come
from.
HOPE strives to achieve a society
where the underprivileged class is never forgotten. In this regard,
contributions from people all over Pakistan and outside Pakistan make our
actions possible and we aim to reach as much poor people as we can.
