Our first Community Iftari

"Welcome to our Iftar" posterOn Wednesday the 25th of August. FolesHillfields Vision Project hosted our very first Community Iftari, to bring together Muslims and non-Muslims.

During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk.

The Iftar meal is the high point of a fasting persons day. There is often a lot of chatting and laughter around the table. Since its a festival of giving and sharing, Muslims prepare special dishes and invite friends and family to have iftari together.
