Next Door Neighbors




Host Father, Albana, Host Mother, Fadimatta, and family friend


When Ramadon ends, everyone (almost everyone) puts on their best clothes and walk around the neihborhood greeting one another, it's like halloween but everyone wears their best clothes and people only ask for a smiles at the door... these are some girls making their festive rounds...


Some stayed home the day Ramadon ended... the boys...


Fadimatta and her children... they are one of Albana's two families... this night Albana eats with the other family... more children (non-family members) join this family at meal time... they eat anything and everything Bess and I give them... so we try to give them a lot...
