Arjaan by Rotana, Dubai has provided an Iftar takeaway for taxi drivers, as part of its Ramadan CSR activities.

“This year, we focus on giving back to the taxi drivers who continuously give their unending and relentless efforts to service the people in the city, it is our way to show gratitude.

“Most of the drivers are fasting and as the time reach closer to Iftar, they may still be rushing dropping and picking up passengers, so we thought providing them a takeaway package will make their Iftar easier,” said Arjaan by Rotana general manager Mark McCarthy.

He added: "They people are one of the few minorities in the public that are often unappreciated for the job that they do – keeping their passengers safe all throughout their journey every day

Headed by McCarthy and some volunteers, the food packages were handed out to almost 80 taxi drivers.

“Seeing their warm smile when they received the package made us feel that our effort is worthwhile” commented volunteer Aila Lopez.
