Sri Lankan Buddhists offer iftar meals to workers
The Sri Lankan Buddhist community in Dubai upheld its tradition of generosity by distributing 2,500 iftar meals to blue-collar workers in Al Muhaisnah, Dubai, on March 22, 2025. This initiative was organised by Lankaramaya Buddhist Centre in collaboration with Sahana Welfare Association.
As a community-driven effort, this meal distribution served as a token of appreciation and was aimed at fostering social harmony and mutual respect among diverse communities during the holy month of Ramadan.
Promoting generosity and togetherness
Attending the event, Ven Buddhawansa Thero and Ven Ariyawimala Thero of Lankaramaya Buddhist Centre emphasised the importance of such initiatives, stating: "These activities not only foster solidarity and mutual respect among communities but also promote kindness and the spirit of giving, especially during the holy month of Ramadan."
The iftar distribution was carried out with the cooperation of Sahana Welfare Association with the approval of the Community Development Authority (CDA) and the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD).
