The local Manitoba Bangladeshi Friendship Club hosted its first event Saturday with an Iftar gathering at the Morden Friendship Centre. Iftar is the name of the meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their fast during Ramadan.
Around 130 members of the Bangladeshi community and others gathered for an evening of unity, gratitude, and cultural celebration including prayers and conversations.
“It was truly heartwarming to see our community come together, sharing not only food but also our values and traditions with one another,” said organizer Jahangir Talukdar. “This is just the beginning of many more initiatives to foster strong bonds among our community members and with the broader Morden community.”
