Alumni of cultural and educational exchange programs attended the U.S. Embassy’s second virtual youth gathering, hosted by Chargé d’Affaires Margaret Nardi. The participants engaged with CDA Nardi in a question-and-answer session on the values and traditions of the holy month of Ramadan. They also discussed how COVID-19, and Bahrain’s preventative measures, affected the tradition of family gatherings and hosting activities while still preserving the spirit of Ramadan. Every year, the embassy hosts a youth Iftar, but due to continuing social distancing, this year’s gathering was held virtually.
