At this year’s Ramadan Iftar dinner, we at RAC Hamburg International hosted a special evening filled with culture, community, and engagement. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a time of fasting and reflection for Muslims around the world. The daily breaking of the fast—Iftar—was even recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2023.
The evening was organized and planned by our member Ayesha.
The event offered all participants a varied program. At an authentic Pakistani restaurant in Barmbek, we enjoyed a lavish buffet accompanied by lively conversation. A special highlight was a casual auction featuring traditional Pakistani handicrafts.
In addition to cultural exchange, the charitable aspect was also a central focus: A portion of the proceeds was donated to War Child Germany, which supports children in conflict zones worldwide.
The event demonstrated how culture, community, and social engagement can be wonderfully intertwined.
Here is a brief recap of the best photos from the evening:
