Mangaluru, Jun 17: ‘M Friends’, a WhatsApp group of Mangaluru based philanthropists today organised an ‘Eid Jalsa’ for the staff of the Government Wenlock hospital at IMA hall in the city.
Sasikanth Senthil, the deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada, who was the chief guest on the occasion, applauded the charitable and philanthropic deeds of M Friends such as providing medical aid and distributing food among needy.
He said that celebrating Eid with hospital staff was also a noble task. “In Israel, every citizen must compulsorily serve one year in Army. If India brings new a rule making it mandatory for every citizen to serve one year in government hospitals, people may realise the difficulties of the poor,” he said.
Dr Rajeshwari Devi H R, superintendent of Wenlock Hospital and district surgeon, said that she was impressed by the selfless service of M Friends which often distributes food among poor patients, provides medical aid and helps in transporting dead bodies to remote areas. Supplying supper to those who stay with patients in the hospital is a commendable work, she said.
Muhammad Kunhi, manager of Shanti Prakashana, in his Eid message, said that love, charity, tolerance and helping nature are core of the festival. He called upon the people to imbibe such values in the life.
M Friends president Mohammed Haneef Haji Golthamajalu presided over the meet.
On the same occasion, Barakah international school founder Ashraf, Mohammed Muhsin, Haneef Ibrahim, B K Fahad were felicitated for their support to the Karunya scheme. Suhan, who prepares meals everyday to distribute among poor, was also honoured.
Haafiz Shamil Abdul Khader Golthamajalu recited the verses of Quran in the beginning. M Friends group admin Rasheed Vitla welcomed. M Friends member Ahmed Mustafa compered. Treasurer Aboobakar proposed vote of thanks.
