RAMADAN INITIATIVE
BESIDE THE POINT: THE DGPS BLOG http://dubaigemstudents.com/
Despite the catastrophe that is COVID-19 and life as we know it
coming to a grinding halt, the spirit of the DGPS community could
not be deterred. With the onset of physical distancing, we yearned
to be at school and so students rallied together virtually to uplift the
confidence and mood that surrounds these unprecedented times.
Keeping this in mind, we arrived at innovative solutions to keep the
momentum going.
As part of the ongoing effort, we tried to capture the true spirit of
Ramadan and how this year, the Holy month was like no other. We
presented one video a day for the entire month and covered a range
of topics to help everyone understand the essence of Ramadan, its
important virtues and special prayers, and how it was impacted by
social distancing.
We put our heads together and after much brainstorming, we also
came up with the DGPS blog, ‘Beside the Point’. Since its
inauguration, we’ve enjoyed receiving articles from students who
were happy to have a space to express themselves freely. We
sincerely hope that you are enjoying the blog as much as we enjoyed ABEEHA YEAR 4B
SUFIYAN YEAR 2C - RAMADAN PROJECT putting it together. Stay safe, everyone! HELPING HANDS IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN
