Doha: For the third year running, THE One Qatar team reached out to their community during Ramadan, by distributing Iftar parcels from their local warehouse to workers living in staff accommodation nearby.
While the team produced 1,000 food packages in the first year of this initiative, they increased that to 1,500 last year. Finding that not even this was enough, they decided to produce an amazing 2,000 Iftar parcels this year! In the Ramadan spirit of generosity, every single staff member of THE One Qatar once again donated one full day of their salary towards this initiative. Together with THE One’s Qatar Restaurant team, they also volunteered their time by planning, buying and putting together the food packages, each containing a piece of chicken, rice, bread, water, juice and fruit.
“Thousands flooded through our gates to receive their Iftar packages and it made us feel so good to be able to bring a little joy to their lives. Doing good reminds us to be human and we should always be ready to do more, changing the world for the better” said Gaby Salomé, general Manager of THE One Qatar.
Gratitude was evident in the happy faces leaving THE One’s warehouse and the Qatar team is already looking forward to next year. As THE One’s saying goes: “Why just be a human being, when you can be a human doing good?”
