EGYPT-CAIRO-RAMADAN-CHARITY-"BEAN CART"

An Egyptian young man prepares food at a "Bean Cart," a small street food stand that serves the traditional pre-fasting meal, known as Suhur, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, on the sidewalk in Heliopolis suburb in Cairo, Egypt, on June 19, 2017. The unique bean carts are operated by a group of highly educated young Egyptians, who hope to use part of the revenues for charitable activities. "The main purpose of starting this project last year is charity," Hussein Hamza, a 30-year-old cofounder of the project, told Xinhua. The group only work during Ramadan and use about one third of the revenues "to bail out debtors, provide food meals for the poor, help with expenses of orphan marriages, pay for expensive surgeries, " Hamza said.
