The Gift of Ramdan



The Gift of Ramdan

Ramdan is not about food. It's a spirituality month. Feeling hunger and thirst is purifying of the soul – or so I see it- since you get to concentrate on more important nourishment, the nourishment of your soul and heart.

At the same time its not the month to have no food either. See over cooking and thinking about the food keeps your mind concentrated on the wrong issue. At the same time knowing that you don't have enough food to feed your family keeps your mind away from the purpose of Ramdan. There needs to be a balance.

No one can ask a mother or a father not to think about the next meal, if they don't know if they are going to be able to provide it. I am one of the people- and will always be- who believe in sustainable development, food packages are not that in any sense or form. But a we have no choice !

We at life makers try our best to deliver as much food packages, to the most needy families in Ramadan, help us do that by either volunteering or giving from your heart, help us give them at least some peace of mind this Ramdan, so that they too can cultivate this spiritual month.

Please help us give them the gift of Ramdan.

I would like to help but I am not from Jordan. Hope people always help needy families in Ramadan and other Ramadan.
Good luck.

Thanks for passing by, and you can help where ever you are, it does not have to be Jordan.

one of the students at my school is the director of the jubeiha charity association, so i'll help through them. but if it doesn't work out with them maybe i'll give your organization a try. i was thinking about going door to door and asking people for food, but with a group of about five or six.
