Ramadan activities
BayCC Ramadan dinners unite people from diverse cultures, religions, and races, creating an atmosphere of mutual understanding, respect, and community. Each year, BayCC, in collaboration with its partners, hosts over 1,000 guests at these events. These gatherings not only bridge communities but also offer the chance to experience a variety of cuisines. Attendees from all walks of life enrich the dinners, which feature cultural performances, panel discussions and inspiring keynote speeches that emphasize the significance of Ramadan and the value of unity and understanding.
Through fasting, a person reflects:
“What must the condition of those who can never find food, who cannot eat or drink, be like?” .
