Sharjah 24: Maitha Murad, Initiatives Supervisor at the Sharjah Social Services Department, announced the launch of the "Your Suhoor Is On Us" event at the Elderly Home on Wednesday. The senior citizens participated in a touching humanitarian initiative, distributing suhoor meals to workers in honour of Zayed Humanitarian Day.

This generous gesture portrayed a beautiful image of giving and compassion, highlighting that humanity is the highest form of generosity, transcending age and social differences.

Commemorating Sheikh Zayed’s legacy

Maitha Murad emphasised that the initiative aims to commemorate the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's humanitarian work and spread the culture of giving within Emirati society. A total of 250 suhoor meals and gifts were distributed to workers with the participation of the senior citizens, employees, volunteers, and community members. This act embodied the values of goodness and compassion, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

Fostering connections and joy

Murad noted that the senior citizens exchanged Ramadan greetings and friendly conversations with all attendees, bringing joy and happiness to both the workers and the senior citizens. They also reflected on Sheikh Zayed’s legacy of supporting charitable work both within the UAE and internationally.

A continuing legacy of giving

Despite their advanced age, the senior citizens continue to be excellent role models in instilling authentic Emirati values in society. Their love for initiative and humanity proves that generosity and compassion are timeless and universal, transcending age and life stages.
