Easter Charity Exhibition brings together 43 participants at the Prophet Elias Church in Aleppo

The products of the Easter Charity Exhibition for Small and Micro Enterprises, organized by the Mar Elias Scout, with the participation of 43 producers in the Greek Orthodox Church of the Prophet Elias, varied between ready-to-wear, embroideries, woolen crafts, decorative accessories, cosmetics, soap, woodwork, resin, pastries and sweets that are offered on Easter holidays.

The exhibition supervisor, Chef George Sayegh, said in a statement to SANA reporter that the exhibition constitutes an important opportunity to display and market the products of small business owners that they manufacture in their homes and to sell them directly to the consumer at low prices, as the proceeds of these projects go to the sons of the Prophet Elias Scouts in order to devote their humanitarian and social role.
