AMU students come together in the spirit of togetherness in the holy month of Ramadan

On Wednesday, 20th April 2022 (18 Ramadan 1443AH), Asia Metropolitan University (AMU) staff and students organised an Iftar Jamaei, providing food for Iftar (breaking of fast) for the underprivileged in the Bandar Seri Alam area.
