Last weekend must have been hectic for many of us. Shopping for Eid clothes, buying foodstuff to prepare of the day of Eid.
It’s a good warm feeling as we gather on Eid day around the table with family and friends. It is a joyous occasion for them as well.
But the true Eid celebration will only be when all the children in the locality get to wear new clothes. Therefore, we should find out people who need our help to buy clothes for their children. This is not a request for donation it is a plea to those who can afford it and to those who are willing to help others in their localities. The true purpose of this celebration is unity. On the day of Eid everyone should enjoy and all children must be given what they need to enjoy this yearly festival. — Yunus Patel, by e-mail
