The Islamic holy month of Ramadan began this week. It’s a month of fasting, prayers and reflection for millions of Muslims around the world, and it’s a special month for Ekhlas Ahmed and her family. They fled their home in Darfur, Sudan, when she was just 12 years old and were resettled in Portland, Maine. One Ramadan back home was particularly special and Ahmed shared the memory with GBH’s Stories From The Stage.
