Iftar Party

On March 15th, we hosted an Iftar Party where everyone enjoyed preparing dishes Including a curry and a chickpea garnish with volunteers. Participants brought dishes and desserts to break fast, such as lamb biryani, cucumber salad, samosas, grapes, and coconut-covered dates. They sat round the table and broke fast together around ten past 6 at sundown, enjoying hearty conversation and food together after.
