'Ramadan Camp' reaches Muslim children across the globe

Amin Aaser remembers as a child growing up in Minnesota that his Muslim faith often made him feel like an outsider, and being required to follow its practices and tenets "sometimes felt like going to the dentist."

Those memories are part of what spurred Aaser, now a married man with a 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son, to spend Ramadan producing an online, interactive "Ramadan Camp" for Muslim children ages 5-12 throughout the world.
