It is not uncommon for students of the Muslim faith to encounter a new experience of being alone in a school that knows little about their faith and therefore, the holy month of Ramadan and what it entails. In order to support our schools in learning some basics about supporting these students, we have put together a simple handout that AFS-USA volunteers can share via email (or in print) with their local school leaders, counselors, and teachers to make sure they understand what students of the Muslim faith will be experiencing during Ramadan each year and some simple things that they can do as educators to support these students.
