Fasting at CJCA 18 colleagues committed to fasting for a whole day! The positivity, reflections and team spirit were incredible. It was a real challenge and eye-opener for many, but they rose to it. It gave them a chance to understand the dedication and challenges faced by many students and staff who are fasting during Ramadan. They opened their fast together at school which was hosted by their Muslims colleagues. Ramadan is a time for reflection, gratitude and remembering those less fortunate. Keeping everyone who is struggling with poverty in our prayers 🤲🏻 #ADayInALifeOfAFastingPersonAtCJCA2026
