Happy Ramadan!

Hi readers,

If you are celebrating the start of Ramadan, we wish you a happy, healthy, and safe month! Ramadan is a month where Muslims all around the world fast from sunrise to sunset. They also give lots of charity and volunteer at local shelters or food banks and they also try to do as many good deeds as they can.

Have a great Ramadan, full of lots of yummy food (when you’re done fasting, of course!) and good memories!
