The Muslim students of OSU are inviting all to Get Hungry For Change! Various forms of fasting are practiced worldwide. It is a way to cleanse out the physical body and understand what it means to be hungry.
WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF YOU???
Go hungry for a day, so someone doesn't have to!!!
Here is how it works:
You pledge to fast for one day (Wednesday, November 19th) and be part of the Ramadan Fast-A-Thon, and, in return, businesses will sponsor $1 for each person who fasts. The money donated by businesses will then go to the Clintonville-Beechwold Community Resources Center and benefit the needy in Columbus.
The Muslims of OSU invite all who participate in the Ramadan Fast-A-Thon to a FREE international dinner on Wednesday, November 19th after the fast is over at the Ohio Union Ballrooms (east and west). Food from Turkey, Africa, India, the Middle East, etc. will be served, and information about what Ramadan means for Muslims will be presented.
This is a unique opportunity to help the needy and get free food at the same time!!! The Muslim Students of OSU hope for this event to foster a better understanding of diversity and to become an opportunity to appreciate it.
