19th February

As the room filled with different colored lanterns, students were encouraged to use them to decorate their own rooms, place them somewhere in the school, or gift them to their friends or staff. Glitter sparkled everywhere, adding its own magic. It was time to make a wish, embracing kindness, hope, light, and gratitude. It was believed that those who made a wish with a sincere heart could feel the glow becoming warmer. Perhaps it was just another trick of the mind, but some claimed their lanterns suddenly felt warmer.

Those who wanted to embrace the full atmosphere of happiness could write a note and give it to their friends, staff, or those celebrating Ramadan. A wide variety of paper and covers were laid out on the table along with quills and colored pens. Spreading kindness, hope, and happiness was the main purpose of this day. If someone did not want to give the note personally, they could leave it on the table near the attending staff. Later, it would be delivered to the recipient anonymously. For some, it was part of their life, but for others, it was an entirely new tradition. Yet here, in this glowing light, differences did not matter. Everyone was united in this moment of time. Hope and happiness were glowing together with the lanterns that day.
