Ramadan offers seasonal work for students, entrepreneurs

Ironically, the fasting month is a time of festive food offerings. Students, housewives, and city officials see economic opportunity in the seasonal markets.

- I want to be successful because success is my goal. I want to be an artist because that is my ambition. I really want to make my parents happy.

- Praise be to Allah...we are thankful the month of Ramadan is here. In this blessed month poor people and beggars will receive better fortune than they do in any other month, and the proof is that they are able to break fast alongside many people.

- I am a senior high school teacher. I urge my students to sell those kind of snack (what Moslem call takjil) wherevere they live around their house. Some of them also sell accessories for kerudung during the ramadhan. The profit is used for themselves or for the class...fifty for themselves. By doing so, the students can go outbound or picnic. Isn't it nice? Being courageous is good to get selfconfidence. Move onwards!!
