DOHA: Shakespeare and Co., a restaurant and chocolatier in Doha, launched an initiative at its outlets at Dar Al Salam Mall and the Pearl-Qatar to continue to engage with and give back to the community during Ramadan.
The initiative ‘Action For Love’ provided Iftar bags to needy people. For every Iftar menu purchased by customers, the company donated one Iftar bag to an individual in need.
Action For Love has proven to be successful with hundreds of Iftar bags already donated.
The company also celebrated Garangao on the 14th night of Ramadan with a visit organised for Um Khamas to the Dar Al Salam branch and meet families and their children.
During Garangao celebrations this time, the company handed out artisan chocolates to visitors at the branch. Rounding out charitable efforts during Ramadan, the company hosted 15 children and staff from Dhreima, Qatar Orphan Foundation, for a special Iftar gathering and giving them the opportunity to sample signature dishes from the company’s extensive menu.
Sami Azrak, CEO of the company, said, “The company is honoured and humbled to have launched charitable initiatives throughout Ramadan, which is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community, particularly those less fortunate.”
The company has been a supporter of local charities and initiatives with the Dar Al Salam branch supporting Qatar Autism Centre on an annual basis and covering tuition costs for three children every year. It has also raised money on several occasions for Qatar Cancer Society and participated in One Cup for Gaza, a part of Qatar Charity’s campaign to help rebuild Gaza.
