The Ramadan Tent Project began in London and it attracted international attention in 2011. A group of students from London’s School of Oriental and African Studies set up a tent in the university’s garden and invited those passing by to join them in breaking the fast.
Now the Ramadan Tent Project has spread to five different countries including the United States. The goal of the Ramadan Tent Project is social change. Its mission is to provide Iftar – the dinner to break ones fast – to Muslims as well as anyone else during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The first ever Ramadan Tent Project in the United States was held in 2016 in Beaverton, Oregon. The students who brought it to Portland will do it again this year. We will hear about this event and we will hear about the heart of Islam from two bright and compassionate university students, Sadaf Assadi and Hanan Alzubaidy.
