Fast-A-Thon 2006

From the poster:
“Fast-a-thon allows non-muslims to experience the spirit of Ramadan and to learn about fasting and charity. Fasting teaches one self-restraint and charity teaches one to look out for others, especially those in need…The fast is to last a day on October 9th, but one can fast as many hours as they feel comfortable with. Companies will donate a fixed sum of money per the hours fasted. All participants and organizers then gather on October 9th to share their experiences and eat ‘iftar’ at sunset.”
