On the eve of Eid ul-Azha, a truck carrying six goats, rice, noodles, cooking oil, tea, sugar and other staples lumbers towards the home of the Sarwar family at the Sarwar. For the past 22 years, the drivers have delivered relief packages to under-privileged villagers in this region during festive seasons on Wednesday.
The Sarwar family, which is still grappling with the recent loss of Mr Sarwar, warmly greets the drivers as they unload aid right to their doorstep. “In addition to the regular aid, the company gives five more goats to your family for this year’s Eid al-Adha. Our hearts go out to you in this time of sorrow,” said one of the drivers.
The gesture of support to the Sarwar family is part of a broader initiative for Eid ul-Azha by the MCC MRDL.
