What Students Say

"Listening to Zaynab's story made me curious about different cultures. I didn't know much about Ramadan before, but now I understand it better. Zaynab's Night of Destiny taught me that it's important to respect and appreciate other people's traditions and beliefs. Making Kh'ak cookies was a delicious way to connect with the story, and I want to learn more about different cultures now."
