BANGALORE, India — Many Pakistani aid workers had one of the "most meaningful Ramadan fasts" in their lives this year, said a senior relief coordinator for Catholic Relief Service in the South Asian country.
"Some of them were saying that the 24/7 kind of relief work we carried out during the Ramadan fast was as fulfilling as going on a pilgrimage to the Mecca," said Nasrullah Khan, head of the CRS office in Besham, Pakistan.
CRS is the U.S. bishops' international relief and development agency.
