SHAFAQNA- The Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum in London organized an open Iftar event on the first Friday of the holy Month of Ramadhan. Organized by the “Ramadhan Tent Project,” more than 400 people participated in the open Iftar.
Omar Salha Founder of the award-winning Ramadhan Tent Project charity, noted to Anadolu Agency (AA) that 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the project.
