Ramadan

Ramadan means unity, sharing and understanding. We, as DIS community did our best to fulfill these essentials. We came together at DIS Charity Iftar and donated the money collected to Red Crescent. Islamic department and DISPA worked together to organize the event. We also thought of our community. We provided 1,900 meals to construction works who work next to our school through donations. Students, staff and parents dedicated their time to distribute the food. This was a great example of C AS. We did not forget our support staff We determined their needs and started a donation campaign. The participation was incredible. Lastly, we organised a special iftar for IB2 students. They had the chance to come together one last time before they graduate. Ramadan Art Bazaar organised by the Islamic department was also an important event to keep the Islamic values alive.
