Tobaski Feast Day (Eid Al Adha): A cultural sharing {Gadling}

Dec 20th 2007 9:59PM Great Jamie! today and morrow is Tobaski Day here in the Gambia. This is about my 12th Tabaski Day here in The Gambia. I'm a teacher of little kids of 2 to 6years old in my own little Nursery and Day Care Center called "Tomorrow's People International Nursery & Daycare Center" here in the Gambia. I am presently having a real sweet feeling of the day here today. Nearly all my kids parents sent me packages of raw mutton sealed in nylon bags and my fridge is stuffed with mutton here today. I've been cooking, grilling and eating mutton all day here and am so filled up with mutton. It's really great to be a bachelor in the gambia on tobaski Day! Lots of kids in their best dresses also trooped into my home for salibo - token gifts of any amount of money that is affordable. Consequently, i also made lots of coins available as gifts to the kids as they come to say hello to their teacher. I really love the day for people who had had some differences prior to the day shook hands and begged for each other's forgiveness and started all over as friends again! I also seized the opportunity to visit some families i've not been able to visit all the while due to my ever busy and tight schedule......................Tobaski is a remarkable day indeed!
