Annual Fast-Breaking Project for the Blind People of Sana’a

Published : April 21, 2022

In cooperation with the Al-Noor Center for the Blind people of Sana’a, Y30 held on the 21st of April 2022 its Annual Fast-Breaking Project for the Blind People of Sana’a. Y30 is very concerned about the situation of disabled people. Our organization deeply respects the courage of these people, because for the average citizens of the capital, life is hard enough in the current humanitarian crisis.

In order to partially facilitate the situation of blind people, we organized alongside the Al-Noor Center a fast-breaking dinner during the holy month of Ramadan. The 21st day of the Islamic month Ramadan has been chosen purposely as it celebrates the beginning of Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Decree). According to the Islamic belief, it was during the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th night of Ramadan when the Quran was sent down from heaven to the believers. Therefore, we decided to invite a large number of blind people together with non-blind people. 800 people managed to attend this event which is stunning.¨

We look forward to organize this event again next year!

This special celebration was more than just raising a cup; it was a journey of discovery, tracing the story that begins with a tiny bean nurtured in fertile mountain soil and ends with a cup that carries joy, inspiration, and community.

 

Under the theme “The Magical Journey… From Bean to Cup,” the event highlighted coffee as a global symbol of unity — a bridge connecting cultures, stories, and people across continents.

 

Each coffee bean represents dedication, craftsmanship, and passion — from the farmer’s care to the barista’s artistry.

 

One of the event’s most memorable moments was the engaging presence of barista and coffee expert Ammar Al-Ahlasi, who filled the room with enthusiasm and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

 

He came not just to serve coffee, but to share knowledge and unveil the secrets behind this enchanting beverage.

 

Ammar emphasized that brewing coffee is both an art and a ritual — from choosing the right grind size to controlling the water temperature and mastering the pouring technique. Every detail matters.

 

Each drop of water that touches the ground extracts not just flavor, but also a story, a feeling, and a sense of connection — creating a cup that nourishes the soul as much as the senses.

 

In closing, the Y30closing, the Y30 Association, in collaboration with the Y30 Institute, affirmed that this event was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the timeless values that coffee embodies: dedication, creativity, and human connection.

 

Every cup tells a journey — from the earth to the heart — reminding us that coffee is not merely a beverage, but a way of life.
