On Friday, the girls' school had their Hari Raya Cultural Day.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims. Hari Raya literally means ‘celebration day’, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the day that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of dawn-to-sunset fasting.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is considered one of the two most important celebrations for Muslims, the other being Hari Raya Haji – the festival of Abraham’s sacrifice.
Hari Raya is one of the biggest holidays in Malaysia. They gather with friends and family similar to what our family does for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The common area of the school was set up with stations for the students.

We missed Macy at the stations, but caught up with her at snack time.

After the stations, there was a whole school assembly with music and dancing.
Life is Good when you can learn about different cultures.
