Arab Chamber donates food kits in Brazil mosque

The Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce has donated 500 food kits to Mesquita Brasil in São Paulo. The entity usually celebrates the end of Ramadan by hosting a breaking-of-fast event for Muslim and Arab guests in its headquarters in São Paulo, but this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, decided to donate food kits for the mosque’s social work.

The Arab Chamber regularly hosts an iftar event.

“It was our way of celebrating iftar, the holy month of Ramadan, which is a tradition at the Arab Chamber. And it is a very healthy way of going about it, by helping out families that need it as they go through this pandemic,” Rubens Hannun, Arab Chamber president, told ANBA.
