Five past seven, dinner time in W-hal
18 oktober 2007 - On Wednesday night 10 October the multicultural student association Mosaic held an Iftar in the W-hal. The Iftar is the meal taken by Muslims after sunset during the month of Ramadan. Non-Muslims were also invited to draw up a chair and enjoy an Iraqi meal on Wednesday. Although the guests were welcome as of 18.30 hours, they could not start to eat until the sun had set, at 19.05 hours.

Participants included both Muslims and non-Muslims. They encompassed a large variety of nationalities, including Indonesians, Kurds, Pakistani, Moroccans and Dutch. According to Rebin Said, a Bachelor student of Electrical Engineering and secretary of Mosaic, the night was a success. Not only because there were more than fifty participants, but also because of the talks that took place between Muslims and non-Muslims during the meal. “This is precisely in keeping with Mosaic’s goal as a multicultural organization”, says Ali Ougajou, a Master student at the Department of Technology Management and candidate committee member of Mosaic.
This year the communal meal staged annually by Mosaic took place in the W-hal for the first time. The location was chosen once it appeared that the association could only use the Auditorium if the committee used caterer Albron.
