Ramadan Mubarak!
May the Almighty bless all of us during this holy month: Keep us healthy and able to care our loved ones; Support the needy; Wish well to our friends, neighbors, co-workers and strangers we may meet. This is the month of giving and we should be aware of giving food for those that are hungry, provide medical care for the sick and give love/paise for all those we know!
