Muslims world-wide anticipate with happiness the celebration of Ramadan, a one month period of daily fasting – the abstaining from food and drink from early dawn to sunset.
The daily fast is broken (iftar) when the muezzin calls “Al Azan” from the mosque. This special moment is shared by all family members, as they sit around the table to eat, thus breaking the fast.
The EC arranges iftars at the Center, so that the team, students, and friends may share the breaking of the fast together. This enables international interns and volunteers to learn, through experience, the customs of Ramadan more intimately and the value of this community more fully.
The EC is honored to share this important religious tradition with its guests.
