WATER OF LIFE IN SOMALIA

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Forestry and Water Works will be drilling wells in Somalia in order to prevent further drought. The ship transporting the drilling machinery will depart the Mersin Port for Somalia today. The Department of Religious Affairs has also initiated a campaign, entitled 'Let Somalia also celebrate the holiday' in order to bring smiles to the faces of those suffering from starvation and drought in Somalia during this holiday season.
Donations collected at mosques during the Ramadan Holiday as well as donations made by SMS or to bank accounts will bring holiday joy to the African continent.

Nine children between the ages of seven and 15 in Pendik, Istanbul, sold their toys, collecting a total of 155 TL, which they donated to the campaign spearheaded by SABAH.
