Comium feeds the needy

Tuesday, September 23, 2008
It is said that anything one intends to do under this sun God needs to be consulted, otherwise man, with regardless of his intelligence, will hardly progress; be it in business or anything. Against this background, Comium, one of the GSM operators in The Gambia, last Wednesday, organized an open Iftar (breaking of fast),  at West Field.

According to Ustass Muhammed Basiru Ceesay of Bakau, who led the prayers, God appreciates those who feed the needy, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan. He said that Comium has shown that their business is in line with the will of God, praying that Almighty Allah blesses the company and its entire staff.

As part of the occasion, the company also distributed T-shirts and bags to almost every one who passed by West Field at the time of the Iftar; many people hipped praises on Comium for organizing the event, praying that Allah would continue to pour his blessing on the company. Some said that the fact that the Iftar was organized at West Field suggest that the company was not selective in its effort to help needy people.

Fatou Njie, one of the participants, told this paper that Comium was exceptional in its organization, considering the location of this occasion, which she said allowed them to invite everybody. She called on the general public to join Comium, and prayed that the Almight Allah showered the blessing of the Holy Month of Ramadan on Comium, “for feeding the Muslim Ummah.”
Three winners of their weekly raffle draw were presented with three new bicycles, each, at the ceremony.
