ALGECIRAS (Photo: EuropaSur) - Religious differences are put aside when it comes to helping the less forunate. That is so, at least, in the downtrodden section of Algeciras known as El Saladillo. Yelman Bustamante Solórzano (centre), the parish priest of Santa María, and the local mosque's imam and president of the muslim community, Kamal Cheddad (right), and its vice-president, Khalid Meziane Yaala, have managed to bring their efforts together whereby the local chapter of Cáritas, the Catholic charity, will also be distributing food and other help through the mosque in areas such as El Saladillo, La Piñera, Pescadores, Los Pastores and Cortijo Vides, where many families are in great need. Father Bustamante, who met the other two over three years ago and have become fast friends, says, "They have always known that at this parish there is no difference of colour, race or creed. Hunger has no colour or religion.">
