On Tuesday, 10 March 2026, Al Siddiq Kindergarten held a communal iftar (breaking of the fast) event combined with a charity programme for orphaned children. The activity was attended by the students of Al Siddiq Kindergarten along with their parents. The event took place in the kindergarten classrooms in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Through this activity, the school aimed to create a Ramadan moment that was not only enjoyable for the children but also instilled the values of compassion and sharing with others.
The communal iftar aimed to strengthen the relationship between students, parents, and the school. In addition, the charity for orphaned children served as a means of nurturing empathy, social awareness, and the spirit of generosity from an early age. The children were encouraged to understand that Ramadan is a special time to share happiness with others, especially with those in need. Through this activity, it was hoped that the children would develop into individuals who are more caring and grateful.
On the day of the event, the students of Al Siddiq Kindergarten arrived at school starting at 4.00 p.m. The programme began with an opening by the master of ceremonies, followed by welcoming remarks from the school director and the chairperson of the school committee. Afterwards, the participants received spiritual guidance through a sermon delivered by Ustadz Dzakky. The sermon conveyed messages about the importance of sharing, being grateful, and making the most of the month of Ramadan by performing more acts of kindness.
Following the sermon, the programme continued with a recitation of the Qur’an performed by the kindergarten students from classes TK A, TK B1, and TK B2. This performance became one of the proud moments of the event, as the children demonstrated their courage and abilities in front of their parents and guests. The atmosphere grew more solemn and filled with a strong sense of togetherness.
Next, the students of Al Siddiq Kindergarten greeted and shook hands with the orphaned children who were present. On this occasion, charity packages consisting of snacks and basic food supplies were also distributed to the orphaned children. This moment became a valuable experience for the students, as they learned to share and show compassion for others in a simple yet meaningful way.
As the time for breaking the fast approached, all participants prepared to perform the Maghrib prayer in congregation. After the call to prayer was heard, the iftar began with drinks and dates. Afterwards, all participants enjoyed dinner together. The shared meal further enhanced the warmth of the Ramadan atmosphere within the school community.
After the programme concluded, the orphaned children and the parents took their leave to return home. Meanwhile, the students of Al Siddiq Kindergarten continued the evening by staying overnight at the school (mabit). This activity served as the closing of the meaningful iftar event and became a valuable experience for the children in experiencing togetherness, learning to share, and strengthening the bonds of friendship during the blessed month of Ramadan.
