At the Kurban Bajrami holiday an imam in Kosovo has donated a needy Catholic family to a new house, the AP agency writes.
Prenk Noeca 41-year-old, lived in the house in Petershan with five children aged 6 to 11 years.
The village is near Gjakova and about 80km from Pristina.
Noreca cares for children alone.
On last Christmas, Imam Abdurrahman Bejtullahu saw in the news the severe conditions that the Noceca family lived in, and he decided to raise funds to build a new home.
Noreca is unemployed and is largely based on sporadic work or people's charity.
During the Kurban Bay festival, Muslims sacrifice offerings and share meat with the poor, or in general donate meat to charity.
Beytullah says that when a person is in need, then religion is not disturbing.
Noreca has said that imam helped her last year during a difficult winter, paying for six months to an apartment in the city.
The weather has hampered the construction of his new house, Noeca says, as it shows the two - room house nears its completion.
The “is almost finished. I want to thank imam”, Noeca says.
God wanted Kurban Bajrami to come and surprise”, says Bejtullahu, adding that he would soon hand over the keys to the family.
A non-government Muslim organisation collected nearly 250,000 euros from Muslim families, local businesses and the diaspora. A construction company decided to work for free. Meanwhile, the municipality supports the organisation by 5,000 euros for every house it builds for the poor. /Koha.net
