Free fast breaking meals

Fri, 24 Feb 1995

JAKARTA (JP): Some 1,000 Jakartan Moslems, and 6,500 from several other cities, have been getting free fast breaking meals in mosques every day during this Moslem fasting month of Ramadhan.

The meals have been provided by the Abu Dhabi Welfare Organization, which has also prepared 1,500 gifts for teachers and preachers for the coming Idul Fitri holiday.

The organization recently held a fast breaking dinner at the Matraman Jami' Mosque, which was attended by hundreds of youths and the United Arab Emirates' Ambassador to Indonesia, Hamad Sa'ad Az-Za'abi.

The organization's spokesman, Taufik Bachtiar, said they have already planned more charities for the near future. (swe)
