"It was very satisfying to see the impct of these small gifts on the families, and in particular on orphans and seniors," reported Mohamed Ali (r) from NEF-Sudan. "These people are really in need!" he continued, "It is a small intervention...but we managed to add a smile on the faces of those we could reach. I am proud that NEF was the only non-Islamic, Western agency participating in food distribution for local people."
