Canadian return Zamreen celebrating Eid with refugees

Eid is coming after 01-02 days which is religious celebrations in Islam. Our super girl Zamreen is really happy and shares her schedule with us. Zamreen says it’s Eid, and I should be happy. But my parents are thousands of miles away in Saudi Arabia for the Hajj pilgrimage. To cheer me up, my grandmother gives her a gift of beautiful clothes from Pakistan, one outfit for each of the three days of Eid. She even prepares lamb korma, my favorite dinner, which they will enjoy when they return from prayers.

Zamreen says last year with same feeling at the prayer hall, I meet two sisters who are not dressed in new clothes for the holiday. I discover that the girls are refugees. With their father, they have fled from their war-torn country. I can’t stop thinking about the girls and what Eid must be like for them. That’s when I come up with a plan to help the girls celebrate Eid and make it the best Eid holiday ever.
