![]() ![]() One of the key objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals is to alleviate poverty and realise a life of dignity for all. As a step in this direction and in keeping with the spirit of Ramadan, Green Hope organized a handout of food packs to 255 workers at a recycling plant .
The Holy month of Ramadan is one of sharing, caring and giving. It is a time for introspection and one of spiritual renewal and gratitude for the bounties bestowed upon all human beings. We, as members of society, strengthen our foundations of fellow feeling and harmony through selfless acts of sharing and caring.
Green Hope , our youth organisation, works on the core philosophy of sustainable development through active involvement of civil society. Every year during Ramadan, we gather our resources and contribute food packets to the laborers and workers. Most of these laborers are away from their families and really look forward and enjoy these interactions with us.
The smiles of the laborers as they accepted the packs really made our day. The post2015 sustainable development goals call for ?a life of dignity for all? and our Ramadan handout was a symbolic step in solidarity with this cause. |
