Around 10 food parcels donated by a Turkish Cultural Center of Rochester, were given to disadvantaged families in Rochester.
The food packages contained a variety of food items, including cooking oil, rice, sugar, sweets, tea, pasta and biscuits. The donation comes after a consultative meeting was held between the City and members of the trust, which has a presence in Rochester. Soon after the suv carrying the goods arrived at the apartment complex on Tuesday, 22 September, the recipients came forward to help workers from the Turkish Cultural Center of Rochester. They were arranged carefully inside the hall, ready to be handed over.
Trust project coordinator, Fuat Mese, said Muslims were celebrating the holy month of Ramadan and during this time often focused on helping the needy. Mr. Mese is based in Rochester.
Ramadan is a special month for over one billion Muslims worldwide. It is a time for inner reflection, devotion to God and self-control.
"We are delighted to be able to support Diesploot with the food parcels. At TCC Rochester we have the vision to inspire humanity. It is our responsibility to ensure these communities are sustainable and we are pleased to be able to help other communities in our region that require aid," said Fuat.After Ramadan, the trust would slaughter some cattle and donate meat to disadvantaged groups in Rochester, he added.
