Gurgian



After Ramadan (the month of fasting during the day) there is a big celebration called Eid.  In camp, there was a party right before Ramadan was over called Gurgian.  All of the kids dress up in traditional Arab clothing and they play games and get treats.  They are also suposed to do a Trick or Treat thing but we knocked on 3 doors and that was enough.  We had only one group of kids come to our house and we bought 2 bags of candy.
