Ramadan Kareem Celebration

9th March 2025

As the crescent moon marks the beginning of Ramadan, the heart of Dunedin city is embracing the sacred month with warmth, generosity, and a deep sense of community. Ramadan, observed by Muslims worldwide, is a time of fasting, reflection, and spiritual renewal. It is also a month that emphasises communal well-being, charity, and caring for the less fortunate; values that resonate with the spirit of togetherness and kindness.

To foster understanding and appreciation of Ramadan, the Dunedin Pakistan Society has curated an engaging and interactive initiative here in the Golden Centre. Volunteers will be available to answer questions about Ramadan, sharing the beauty of this sacred tradition. To further spread the spirit of giving, the stall will distribute goodie bags filled with delightful treats and informational materials. Each bag serves as a token of hospitality and generosity, embodying the core values of Ramadan—kindness, sharing, and community care.
