Teachers from Wales to do Ramadan fast with Muslim students to show Islam is 'nothing to be afraid of'

Three Welsh teachers say they will join their Muslim students’ sponsored fast in an effort to counter Islamophobia wave in the UK.

“Seeing the efforts they make to study while doing Ramadan, we wanted to show we empathise and want to show that there is community support within the community here,” the teachers said.

“By participating in the fast, we hope to show solidarity with our Muslim students as well as those in our local community.”

The trio say they want to show others that the Islamic community and their culture are “nothing to be afraid of.”

“The more we can connect with different peoples and their cultures, the better,” said Andrew Bodgin, one of the three staff members who teach at the Celtic English Academy in Cardiff.

The three teachers will fast on Friday, July 3. They will go without food or water from dawn to dusk or 19 hours to raise awareness of the Holy fasting Month of Ramadan.

They also plan to raise funds for Cardiff’s foodbank. The charity says it has already supplied nearly 86,000 people with food stuff in Wales since last year.

The teachers will break their fast at sundown this at Cardiff’s Dar Ul-Isra mosque, where needy people including the homeless, regardless of faith, are offered three-course meal after Iftar, during the fasting month of Ramadan.
