Eid-ul-Azha, the second biggest religious festival of the Muslims, will be celebrated soon around the world. Many of us are busy making plans to celebrate the Eid in a befitting manner. On the other hand, poverty will deprive many people of the joy the Eid. The pleasure of Eid is not same for all. For the poor, the Eid day is like any other day of struggle to manage their daily meals. The affluent people among us should do something to make the poor people's Eid meaningful. If the well-off people from each locality come forward, we can at least ensure the poor people new clothes and a hearty meal on the Eid day. We may not change their life permanently. But this noble act may inspire us to do many more good things for society and country.
