This year, Qatar is experiencing a unique celebration of Eid Al Fitr as authorities have urged citizens and residents to stay home and protect themselves and the wider community from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to celebrate this special occasion, the management of Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) invited the staff to join them for an e-Majlis yesterday to connect in these challenging times online and to exchange Eid greetings.
“It’s very important to reaffirm that we stand together as one this Eid, to celebrate synergy and togetherness. Eid is an occasion to exchange greetings with family and friends. This year it has come at a time where physical distancing is being enforced for our well-being and health,” said AZF CEO, Mohammed Khalifa Al Suwaidi, who was part of the virtual meeting along with Aspire Academy Director General, Ivan Bravo; Aspetar CEO, Dr. Abdulaziz Jeham Al Kuwari; and Aspire Logistics Director General, Abdulla Nasser Al Nuaimi.
The participants used the opportunity to talk with the members of the management, videos were shown that showed the diversity in Aspire featuring greetings and Eidwishes in many different languages.
Eid Al Fitr, one of the most important Religious Occasion in the Muslim calendar marking the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan, is traditionally celebrated with mosque prayers, family feasts and shopping for new clothes, gifts and sweet treats.
But this year, the celebration is overshadowed by the fast-spreading respiratory disease, and although there will be no community events and gatherings this year, those celebrating can make the most of the unique time with their loved ones at home
