RAMADAN SCHOOL PROJECT
As-salamu alaykum,
I'm pleased to announce that Ramadan is almost here, and it's time for us to collaborate on creating Ramadan Gift Baskets for our schools.
For those unfamiliar with this project, its purpose is to introduce the school staff and faculty to Ramadan, ensuring that our children are acknowledged, and we establish a presence in the community. We plan to provide them with a tray of goodies accompanied by a card containing information about Ramadan. Thanks to your support, last year's initiative was successful, and we are grateful to Allah and each one of you for making it possible. Insha Allah, this year, we aim to make it even better by reaching more schools than in previous years.
Please take a moment to view pictures of some schools we visited last year through the following link.

We also extended our outreach to most of the Jacksonville Public libraries, fire stations, and the Sheriff's Office. This initiative serves as an excellent form of dawah, so even if you don't have children in school, we encourage you to come forward and support.
Our objective is to deliver the gift trays to all schools by March 1st, before Ramadan begins on March 10th.
If you wish to contribute financially, you can use Venmo (Rakshinda) or Zelle (904 534 3370).
If you'd like to participate or have a child in a school and want to present them with a Ramadan Gift tray, please contact me at 904 534 3370.
We eagerly look forward to your support!
JazakAllah Khair
