Qatar Charity, Qatar Academy Doha distribute food baskets to coronavirus-hit families

Qatar Charity (QC), in cooperation with Qatar Academy Doha (QAD) of Qatar Foundation, distributed food baskets to 500 expatriate families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with the participation of many QAD’s students and graduates.

Farid Al-Siddiqi, head of the Local Projects section at Qatar Charity, praised QAD for its efforts aimed at alleviating the suffering of families with limited income, especially in the month of Ramadan, the season of giving and multiplying rewards. He also applauded QAD’s annual project that seeks to get QAD’s students involved in community service and humanitarian work.

He thanked QAD’s management and students for the cooperation, emphasizing that Qatar Charity, since the outbreak of the coronavirus, has been working, in collaboration with the various bodies in the country, to contribute to limiting the humanitarian effects of the pandemic. He noted that Qatar Charity provided food, health, and awareness-raising assistance for the benefit of low-income families and workers in the State of Qatar.

Rola Abu Ramadan, an Arabic language teacher at QAD, thanked Qatar Charity, noting that QAD’s students have been carrying out this project for 16 years annually. She also said that Qatar Charity always remains supportive of QAD’s charitable project.

Abu Ramadan added the project seeks to achieve many goals such as instilling the value of helping others in students, urging them to participate in voluntary and community activities, encouraging them to give and support those in need.
