Here’s a good thing you need to know: Sehri Tales is a Ramadan-wide writing and creativity challenge, where the goal is to compose a fresh piece of prose, poetry or nonfiction upon waking up for Sahur, the pre-dawn meal during Ramadan, and complete it before the break of dawn. It started in Bangladesh, and has since seen global participation from people all over the world. We speak to Sabrina and Abak, the people behind this project, about its significance in bringing people together during the month of Ramadan.
