Ramadan Handout for 255 workers

In keeping with the spirit of Ramadan, Green Hope handed over food packs yesterday to 255 workers at the TADWEER 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.

Recycling is a key component of our  sustainable consumption campaigns and our efforts are aided all year round by TADWEER, UAE's premier waste recycling company. On 20th June, the third day of the holy month of Ramadan, 50 members from Green Hope visited their facility in Aweer and handed out 255 food packets to their workers as a token of our appreciation.

ICONS Coffee Couture, which believes in enriching our community by creating ‘the places to be' joined us in this activity. Ms Elena Weber, CEO of ICONS and famous international fashion model & Ms Lara Allegra Lange, Executive Chef –ICONS handed over dates and  water, alongside us,  to the workers.

Panache' International, too, joined this Ramadan campaign and handed out juices to the workers.

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.
