Damian Hehire-learning, UAE

Ramadan E-Learning Module As Ramadan is here, we thought it would be a great idea to develop a short e-learning module explaining some of the key components of the Holy Month. Most non-Muslims will no that fasting is involved, but likely have less of an idea of where Ramadan came from and why it is so important.  Ramadan is a …
