Eid al Fitr festival is an occasion that people usually celebrate by wearing new clothes. So in order to provide the opportunity of buying new clothes even for the unfortunate and at the same time raise funds for charity, RAC Maadi ElGedida and Semiramis Intercontinental decided to organize another clothes bazaar on the last Thursday in Ramadan.

This time, it was held in "Om El Masryeen" hospital which was planned to be given the income in the form of necessary medical supplies. The pieces collected this time were 2500 and were sold for 850 L.E.

Iftar Sayem: A Joint Project

9/2009

A Community Service project by RAC Kasr ElNile, the idea was to give away small bags (containing: Bread , Juice , Patee, cheese) to the people on the road right before Maghreb prayer in order to win the privilege of breaking their fast.

The project was sponsored by Rich Bake, Twist, Brunch and La Vache Qui Rit. RAC Maadi ElGedida and RAC Kasr ElNile were each given a number of items to complete 5000 packs.

The project was lead by Mohamed Osama, head of "Communtity Service". It involved weekly packing and daily distribution of the packs.
