Idul Adha Holiday


This is the viewing gallery of the killing of the goats for this holiday. The woman to the far left in the light shirt is Hanifer who is a teacher's aide at the school. (She graduated with a degree in French!!!!) Next to her is her cousin who teaches high school English. Unfortunately, her cousin's English was very limited. Hanifer's mother is the woman holding her first grandchild (Hanifer's daughter and she is called Hani. )This is the family home that is in a village about an hour from Cirebon. This was the second of three stops we made visiting relatives all day. Hanifer's dad (not pictured) said to me as we entered the first home- "These are friendly Muslims, not terrorists."
