Visit of the Chief Imam of the Majlis of the Islamic Community Maglaj m.r. Nevres ef. Hodžić and muallima Amira Talić the Regional Committee of “Merhamet” Maglaj followed a day after the Municipal Council of Maglaj, at the suggestion of Mayor Mirsad Mahmutagić, reduced the budget for the work of “Merhamet” soup kitchen from 40,000 to 20,000 BAM.

At the previously mentioned session of the Municipal Council of Maglaj, which was held yesterday, the Budget of the Municipality of Maglaj for 2021 was adopted in the amount of 7,855,634 BAM.

Chief Imam Nevres ef. Hodžić said that the Majlis of the Islamic Community of Maglaj will not allow the work of the Soup Kitchen to be questioned, nor will the number of “Merhamet’s” users be revised.

– We invite all citizens and businesses in Maglaj to help the work of “Merhamet’s” soup kitchen by donating or by paying an annual membership fee (12 BAM) and not to allow the preparation of meals for 152 current users of the Soup Kitchen stops completely. By the way, the imams/officials of the Majlis from Maglaj paid the membership fee for “Merhamet” last year, and this modest donation of the Majlis is just a confirmation of the continuity of successful cooperation that exists between the Majlis and the Regional Committee of “Merhamet” Maglaj – said Nevres ef. Hodžić.

Ef. Hodžić reminded potential donors that the price of one meal per user is 2.5 BAM, which means that a daily cost for 152 users is 380 BAM.
