It’s Ramadan and Adam loves this special time of year, but there’s a growing problem; people in Adam’s neighbourhood are not waking up for the pre-fast meal or the dawn prayer. Sadly they are forgetting these important early morning activities in Ramadan, which have become a distant memory.

 

Can Adam’s father help to wake the people up in time by rising to the challenge of becoming the neighbourhood waker-upper, the Ramadan drummer for the community? Can he find the courage to continue an ancient legacy?

 

A heart-warming tale about cultural heritage, service to the local community and bravery during hard times.
