At the end of the month of Ramadan, the Muslim fasting period, nearly all of the families in the sprawling Breidjing Refugee Camp celebrated the festival of Eid al-Fitr. Many of the Sudanese refugees went to services at an improvised mosque; afterward, the imam led a procession around the camp, singing songs and delivering periodic homilies to segregated groups of men and women.
