Happy day,

En een Ramadan update (Engels).

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic (lunar) calendar. During this month Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, no food or water is allowed. It is also a month during which you should strive to be a better person in every way. It is custom to give staff a bonus for Ramadan so they can buy extra food for breaking the fast. Ramadan ends with Eid el Fitr, which is the "festival for breaking the fast". Children often get new clothes for Eid and it's common to eat extra good food (meat is luxury for our workers), just like our Christmas.

Usually we get our workers a monetary bonus as well as "Ramadan bags" from Carrefour, which consist of sugar, beans, pasta, tea, oil etc. It's just simple things but the guys LOVE to get their Ramadan packages. We also give Ramadan bags to the staff of our landlord, to our local tea man who runs a one square meter-cafe, the guys who sweep the street outside, the cemetery guards etc. We also give to local horse owners whose financial situatons are The price of a Ramadan box- or bag! This is the Carrefour box, which is LE 54 - this is approximately GBP 2.5. (Marte)
