TEHRAN The good tradition of feeding Muslims particularly in the holy month of Ramazan has always been followed as a manifestation of the religious and spiritual beliefs of Muslims.

This benevolent practice was performed in Baba Baqi Sanatorium in Tabriz, where lepers are fed every year in the holy month.

On Saturday night a number of the officials of the East Azarbaijan Province broke their fasting along with lepers who had been treated and who were in good health. During the fast-breaking ceremony, the Governor of the Province Yahya Mohammadzadeh called on the concerned officials in Tabriz to provide suitable jobs for children of the lepers.

He also invited the children of the lepers to equip themselves with technical and professional skills.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mohammad-Hossein Mobin who was present at the ceremony said a number of charitable organizations such as the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee render financial contributions annually to the sanatorium for treatment of the lepers.
