Fasting Month

We have classes on Saturday only in the month of Ramadhan. This is because we close at 5 every day, during the weekday.

Working 5 days a week at the centre is not a norm for me. Working till 5pm feels nice though.

Some muslim students would fast and attend classes. It's nice to see how these young people train themselves. Sometimes, my non muslim students would ask me how it is like to fast. I tell them, fasting is like training ourselves to be patient. Not allowing ourselves to eat when we're hungry, not allowing ourselves to drink when we're thirsty and not allowing ourselves to get angry when we feel agitated. They'd march out of my room saying "I can never do that!!!"
