Wednesday, April 10th, is set to be an important date for the international Muslim community: the celebration of Ramadan. In anticipation of this major event, Clive Ketu Mbaku, star of ‘The Bachelor of Francophone Africa’ season 2, has decided to show his generosity towards the Muslim faithful in the Cameroonian capital of Yaoundé.
The holy month of Ramadan, one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam, began on March 11th for Muslim faithful around the world. During this period of fasting, they abstain from eating from dawn until sunset, making this a time for reflection, devotion, and solidarity. Ramadan is much more than a practice of deprivation; it’s also a time to strengthen faith, practice generosity, and seek inner peace.
Recently, various Islamic authorities confirmed the closure date of this sacred month. On Monday, April 8th, 2024, it was announced that the observation of the moon had determined the end of Ramadan. Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of fasting, will then be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10th. This festive day is eagerly awaited by Muslims in Cameroon, as well as by believers worldwide.
But in the lead-up to this celebration, the Bachelor of Francophone Africa, season 2, Clive Ketu has shown his generosity towards the Muslim community of his country. He made this known through a text published as a caption to images on his Facebook page on Monday, April 8th, 2024. “You don’t need a lot to be able to give to others. Giving isn’t limited to material goods or money; it can also take the form of gestures, time, listening, and attention. Each of us has something valuable to offer, whether it’s a smile, a word of encouragement, or simply our presence. Even the smallest acts of generosity can have a significant impact on those who benefit from them,” he writes.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the donation consists of soap, pasta, cooking oil, sugar, market bags, and many other items. This moment of sharing ended with prayers for the Bachelor.
