They will also serve iftar (fast-breaking dinner) meals to the orphans. We would like to thank KYM for its help.There are quite a number of Crimean people who have no choice but just a glass of water for sahur (pre-dawn meal). So, we demand donations from individuals and charities so that these people can have their sahur and iftar meals. We would like you to contact our foundation for your donations.”
