And this time, our Indonesian team got together to make a difference during the holy month of <strong>Ramadan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might\u2019ve already heard of Ramadan as the period in which Muslims fast from dawn to sunset, but it involves so much more than that. For a bit of context, this holiday season falls on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which is dictated by the lunar cycle. As a result, the exact Ramadan dates may vary a bit each year, but it begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This 2022, Ramadan lasted the entire month of April, and, just like Christmas to the west, Ramadan is a time for <strong>spiritual reflection, community bonding, and being grateful<\/strong>. That\u2019s what inspired our team to spend two afternoons (the 20<sup>th<\/sup> and 21<sup>st<\/sup> of April) packing and handing out <strong>meal packs to people in the streets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am so happy to get together with my colleagues, some of whom have been working from home for more than 5 months, to do this social service during Ramadan. I hope we can do this more often\u201d, expressed Sheeta, Project Manager at 24Slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our incredible Indonesian colleagues got everything set up and running so smoothly that you wouldn\u2019t even tell it was our first Ramadan activity ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in January, we held an auction requested by our team in Malang, where we gave used furniture from our previous office a second chance. That\u2019s how we got funds available to distribute 250<strong> <\/strong><strong><em>iftar<\/em><\/strong><strong> meal packs<\/strong> (a light meal people eat after the sunset during Ramadan) each day. The food came from food stalls (called <em>warung<\/em> in Indonesia), so we also got to support<strong> local businesses<\/strong> that had it tough due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wiwin, one of the business owners shared: \u201c<em>During the pandemic, I only made 60% &#8211; 70% of my normal income because my consumers are mostly college students and they had to stay and learn from home. Basically, we were trying to survive, but this activity has helped me a lot to get bigger orders. Thanks for trusting our local business to be part of this event<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To top it off, colleagues from Denmark &#8211; including 24Slides CEO Tobias Schelle \u2013 landed in the city to bring some helping hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, we engaged<strong> 35 colleagues<\/strong> in a social, sustainable, and impactful activity by handing out a total of <strong>500 meal packs to the community<\/strong>. As a <a href=\"https:\/\/24slides.com\/about\/purpose\">Certified B-Corporation<\/a>, we proudly support and honor our team\u2019s passion for giving back and we can\u2019t wait to see where it will take us next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the joys of being a global team is that we get to share and learn from culturally diverse &hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/24slides.com\/blog\/celebrating-ramadan-in-24slides\/\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6863,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[683,686],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-24volunteer","category-charity",""],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
