The Chicago-based Zakat Foundation of America hosted an iftar dinner Wednesday for students at Georgetown University in Washington, DC.
The non-profit charity provided meals for nearly 200 students, offering them a taste of Turkish cuisine at Leo J. O’Donovan Dining Hall.
In his message to the guests, the charity’s executive director, Halil Demir, expressed his delight in hosting students at one of the world’s leading universities.
“Not only today, but also at Columbia University, Stanford University and in dozens of states across the US, we sponsor iftar gatherings, bringing together tens of thousands of young people,” said Demir.
