Students led the chapel service the evening before EED FITR holiday,
explaining the importance of the month of RAMADN and EED al-FITR.
A student started with an introduction that explained the tradition of
fasting, the importance of RAMADAN, and why it is venerated as the most
important time of the year. He emphasized the duty of charity and
helping the poor at this time.
The service was ended with the EED prayer recited by one of the
students.
After the service students received the traditional cakes with dates and
more chocolate from the ample supply we received from our Swiss and
German partners.
The celebration was concluded at the time of breaking the fast with a
special meal (IFTAR) for all boarding students.
All waited for the exact time of breaking the fast when it was time to
enjoy the delicious food prepared by our kitchen staff.
We express our thanks to the educators and kitchen staff members who got
up very early and stayed late to cater to the
needs
of fasting students through the month of RAMADAN.
We also thank our kitchen team for the delicious IFTAR they prepared for
all boarding students.
Our Swiss partners from SVS, Rev. Ursus Waldmeier and Dr. Hans Pfister,
brought with them when they came for the inauguration of the new
vocational building, a huge supply of Swiss chocolate in addition to 20
kgms of pasta. Ms. Kerstin Sommer of EVS/EMS also brought chocolate for
our students from Germany.
Students from all ages and all departments enjoyed this huge chocolate
supply over a period of two weeks.
As it was delicious Swiss and German chocolate, it wouldn't have been
fair unless all our teachers, trainers, educators, and members of staff
had some of this chocolate too. So everyone in JLSS had delicious
chocolate which was distributed to all students and members of staff at
least three times.
We express our sincere gratitude to Rev. Ursus Waldmeier, Dr. Hans
Pfister, and Ms. Kerstin Sommer for making JLSS a place of chocolate joy
for many days.
We also thank Kerstin for the table-tennis racquets and balls she got
from Germany for our boys and girls, and for encouraging them to learn
to play table tennis.
