On Thursday, April 4, 2024, we organized a free VEGAN IFTAR with a rich buffet at Bistro Zdravo’s event space known as Košnica.

The month of Ramadan brings prosperity and peace primarily to the soul, and then to our homes and families.

This month is an opportunity to give up bad habits and create new, more useful and healthier ones. It also encourages us to be better people to ourselves and others, and to do good deeds.

Iftar marks the breaking of the fast during the holy month of Ramadan, and the most common practice worldwide is to have iftar together. Iftar strengthens family and social ties, promotes charity, solidarity, and social exchange.

Ramadan brings us closer to the community, to ourselves, and to God. It is a time of day when we feel that we are all part of a whole and that we are not alone.

Ramadan itself calls us to mercy, understanding, and fosters a sense of unity and belonging. Sarajevo, as a multi-ethnic city, teaches us to respect all religions and live harmoniously.

For these reasons, we organized this iftar, precisely in the spirit of unity and sent messages of coexistence, respect, love, and compassion!

Before iftar, we watched together “The Game Changers” a film about the benefits of plant-based diets, proteins, and strength, presented by various athletes who shared their experiences with plant-based diets and how it has affected their performance, endurance, and overall quality of life.

To our great satisfaction, after the film, the attendees showed a keen interest in learning more about veganism, asking questions about the film and the vegan lifestyle in general, which our Ajdin Arnautović answered.
