Donations Continue to Flow
Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil’s contribution is part of the large response from companies, businessmen and community members in the UAE and abroad in support of the campaign, which was announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Given the influx of donations, from philanthropist individuals and companies, the 100 Million Meals campaign fully achieved its goal of 100 million meals within 10 days of its launch.
Dr Shamsheer Vayalil said: “The 100 Million Meals campaign is one of the greatest humanitarian initiatives envisioned to support disadvantaged and less fortunate people around us. A noble gesture to mark the Holy month of Ramadan, the campaign amplifies the message of love, compassion, brotherhood, and sharing. The significance of this holy deed is immense when the world is fighting a pandemic, which has turned the lives of millions of people upside down.
