Hi there dear kids and welcome to this March edition of Kids Corner. The blessed day of Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated tomorrow (Sat, March 21), a day to rejoice and share happiness with your dear ones. After a whole month of fasting and patience during Ramadaan, Eid is a beautiful reward from the Almighty, so when you wake up on Eid morning, put on your best outfit and spread the joy wherever you go. Remember, Eid is not just about new clothes, sweet treats and Eidi (although we know you look forward to this part), it’s also about saying thank you for our blessings, being kind to parents, family and friends and sharing with those who have less than us. Don’t forget, even the smallest act of
kindness can make someone’s Eid extra special. Kids Corner wishes our amazing young readers a day of laughter, joy, sweets and lots of Eidi!! Enjoy every moment of the beautiful day.
