CAIRO - 19 May 2018: State Minister for Immigration and Egyptian Expatriate Affairs Nabila Makram, along with Misr Elkheir Foundation Board Chairman Ali Gomaa, inaugurated the first Ramadan tent of "Iftar with our relatives" initiative.
Co-organized by the immigration ministry and Misr Elkheir Foundation, the iftar tent is funded by Egyptian doctors in the UK, Makram said in a statement issued on Saturday.
A Ramadan banquet funded by the Egyptian community in the UK will be named after it, the minister added.
Expressing happiness over the inauguration of the tent, Makram said: "A few days ago, we had been talking about the week of communities and getting back to the roots for foreign communities that used to live in Egypt,"
"Today, we're speaking about Egyptian roots extended abroad across the world that come back to serve their homeland."
She thanked Misr Elkheir Foundation Board Chairman Gomaa for his continued support and backing to the foundation's charity teams.
Misr Elkheir is an Egyptian charitable, non-profit social services and development organization.
