In this episode, we are learning about a new culture and traditions. Our guest Izmer from Malaysia who now lives in Cambodia talks about his experiences with fasting during Ramadan. Fasting is practiced in the Muslim world, in which they do not eat until sunset. Fasting builds gratitude and humility with people, and empathy for those who don’t have food to eat. After 4 weeks, Muslims celebrate Eid in mosques and with their families.
