UNIVERSITY CITY, SHARJAH \u2013 The Photography Club at American University of Sharjah will donate the money collected at their Ramadan-themed photo booth during an April 20 Ramadan night event at the AUS Student Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rahma Ali, the president of the Photography Club, said that depending on the amount of money raised, the club will decide where to donate the money for charity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the beginning,\u201d Ali said, \u201cto be honest, we were really worried because people are usually attracted to free things and this being a charity, event we thought we will not raise any money. But, people came to the booth, took pictures and really enjoyed it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were thinking of doing an event at the Photography Club,\u201d she added. \u201cWe knew it had to involve taking pictures so we decided to do a photo booth and since it is Ramadan, we thought that it is a huge Iftaar event and an opportunity for us to go ahead with our plan.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mahmood Amr, the treasurer of the Photography Club, said, \u201cWe spent the budget acquired mainly on film for the cameras, accessories and Ramadan decorations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that it took the club approximately two hours to set up the photobooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I really enjoyed the event and handling the photo booth. We had a lot of people coming, all for a good cause which made everyone happy at the end of the day,” said Haidy Abdelazim, a club member. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
