Cow Meat being prepared for public Kitchens of Caritas
Humanity First Germany was generous enough to provide funds for the qurbani on the eve of Idul Azhia. Keeping in view the local circumstances 400 kg sheep meat was distributed amongst 600 friends, needy persons and refugees residing in Croatia. Similarly 600 kg of cow meat was provided to public kitchen facilities being administered under arrangements of Caritas Croatia. Likely to be consumed approximately by 3 to 4 thousands beneficiaries. In some cases sheep meat was delivered at homes also which was much appreciated. Under Caritas kitchen facilities also finished meals provided to needy.

Mr Zvonko Erceg, general secretary of Caritas remained the prime force to make the event as success. Media expert Mr Stjepan Moskatelo facilitated excellent coverage of event.
It was simple but nice event.
Just a thought: Caritas Switzerland had nominated a Muslim (myself…) as Chief Delegate in Kosovo from the year 2000 to 2002. An interesting nominated for an otherwise Catholic Charity.
Of course you know all that if you have read https://themuslimtimes.info/2017/08/23/glimpses-into-the-life-of-a-global-nomad-part-eight/
No surprise there, by the grace of Allah HF has been doing wonders and now this. I’m very much in awe and humbled to know there are organizations that are remembering the poor when it counts.
Mashallah! nice to see Croatia Mission news
