My grandparents as you know lived next door to the Masjid.... Yes Chennette it was Fair and Square where we got the enamel plates and later on plastic ones at the neighbouring village store. Two years ago we did have a catered for Iftar .... this is also termed Fatur or Aftari....the morning meal is called ...either Suhoor or Sehri. Wehave been using styrofoam plates and cups for a while now as people cannot wash so many wares anymore.... Thanks for bringing back all the memories...

I thought it was St Mary's or Marabella. This very old store on the second floor of an L shaped building. Where we bought a TV? Who knows. Heh. THey too noisy. Weekend iftars are probably more crowded. Oh. I thought it was St Mary’s or Marabella. This very old store on the second floor of an L shaped building. Where we bought a TV?

So many more people work outside the village now, children are in school and lessons...I noticed even on brother in law's village masjid in Guyana it's less people than before - but your niece and nephew make up for the noise.
