![]() ![]() It was incredibly busy, but fun at the same time. There were over 400 people registered for this event, and we also had many walk ins. I worked with the volunteer task supervisor to make sure everything for the registration was ready.Īlthough the event was to start at 6:30, many people came much later than that. So in that time, we set up, got everything ready and made sure everything was all good. I met with the volunteer team over zoom, so we had a pretty basic understanding of everything that needed to be done. As one of the lead volunteers for this event, that meant I had a lot of work to do. Today, we were having the huge Al Salam Foundation fundraising Gala event that happens annually during the month of Ramadan. This was definitely one of the hardest fasts I have had to go through yet. The rest of the day went by very slowly, and I felt very hungry, exhausted and tired. I started to really feel the affects of my fast. Once we finished, I went to run some errands with my mom, but we were both incredibly tired. Once we listened to the Khutbah, or sermon, we prayed. Also since my day to day routine was almost the same everyday, it really started to feel like I did nothing at all over spring break.Īfter showering and getting ready for the Friday prayer, I went to the mosque. I started to feel like I didn’t complete much school work during spring break. ![]() It also made me realize that spring break was coming to an end. Once everyone left, we then had to clean everything up so we were unable to go to Taraweeh. I had a really good time at the party, and got to enjoy my moms amazing food that she only makes for parties. Once that was all done, we waited for our guests to arrive. After that I got ready for the party, and began working on our last minute decorations. I watched my Ramadan drama episode of the day, prayed and read Quran. The worst part about it was, there was such good food all around, and it was so tempting to have to be in the kitchen for so long.Īfter many hours of hard work, I finally got a break and was able to rest for a little bit. ![]() So of course, the whole day was taken up in cooking, cleaning, getting ready and more. My mom was throwing a huge party where many people were coming to our house to break their fast. ![]()
