Ramadan donations collected from various charity groups delivered to Mauritania in Africa.

Turkish expats living in Germany placed a smile on the faces of children living in Mauritania under harsh conditions with Eid clothes and candies.

Turkey's Religious Affairs and Turkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) in coordination with Turkish-Muslim umbrella group DITIB and the expat community distributed the aid to children in Brakna.

The volunteers played various games with the children throughout the day.

Fahrettin Alptekin, a DITIB representative in Essen, Germany, told Anadolu Agency that the donations collected from various aid associations in Germany were brought to Mauritania by 17 volunteers.

"We came here bearing gifts. We try to make children happy and make them smile... The main purpose of aid activities is social interaction. That is what we are doing here," Alptekin said.
