Iftar Party @ JAAGO

On 26 September 2008, 25th Ramadan, JAAGO Foundation held its first Iftar Party in its school premises, sponsored by ISD Students. The attendees included the 80 kids that JAAGO Foundation supports, its members, volunteers and a number of sponsors and donors. Although unanticipated rain foiled the main arrangements at the school roof, we at JAAGO Foundation are not short on determination. Since we all had a strong resolve to make it happen, we improvised and managed the Iftar Party in the class rooms, office room and computer lab.

Even though EID was five days away, for the kids it was more than EID Day. They had a very enjoyable time with aplenty of food and drinks, especially since they hardly get to taste such food.

The sponsors were delighted to meet the children. They were astonished to see these slum children greeting them with words such as ‘Good Evening’ and ‘Hello, How are you?’. Some sponsors were so amazed that they kept on staring at the smiling faces.

JAAGO Foundation would like to give special thanks to Irfan and Drohi for arranging the donation from ISD Students for the Iftar Party.

JAAGO Foundation would like to thank all the sponsors, donors and supporters who attended the event and made it a success. Although it is not possible to thank everyone by name, we on behalf of the kids would like to express our profound gratitude towards Mr. Ador for donating 300 packets of biscuits, Mr. Rubel for donating snacks and drinks, Mrs. Ishrukh for bringing cake, and our dance teacher Shati for bringing traditional snacks (Jilapi). In addition, Ayesha, Rintu, Mehvish, Mishu, Ador, and Rana Bhai donated a handsome amount of money for the Iftar Party.
