To my Beloved Citizens,

As the blessed month of Ramadan dawns upon us, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each and every one of you in Paynesville and across the beautiful Republic of Liberia. This holy month is more than just a time of fasting; it is a cherished opportunity for reflection, renewal, and profound connection with our Creator and one another.

Ramadan is a sacred journey, inviting us to deepen our faith, practice compassion, and embrace the spirit of community. It is a time when Muslims around the world come together in devotion, fostering a sense of unity, understanding, and solidarity. In Paynesville, we are proud to celebrate our diversity, weaving together the threads of our cultures and beliefs, and during this month, we honor the essence of what it means to be a caring community.

As we immerse ourselves in prayer and seek forgiveness, let us also remember those in need within our neighborhoods. This is a time to reach out, extend our hands in generosity, and share the blessings we have been bestowed. Let our hearts be filled with empathy for the less fortunate and our actions reflect the kindness and mercy that Ramadan encourages.

In the spirit of this holy month, I urge everyone to come together in love and understanding. Let us support one another, engage in acts of charity, and spread goodwill throughout our city. May this Ramadan illuminate our hearts and guide our actions as we strive for peace, harmony, and prosperity in Paynesville and beyond.

As we begin this sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection, I pray that it brings you joy, tranquility, and a renewed sense of purpose. May you find strength in your faith and comfort in the company of your family, friends, and community.

Ramadan Kareem to you all!

With warmest regards,

Robert S. Bestman, II

Mayor of Paynesville City
