How do others cope? She says: Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr have lasted most of November and one week into December. The Arabic women in our class almost stopped attending during this time because of being weak and tired from fasting. This was an unexpected complication in beginning this new class. Do you have any ideas? Have you run into this before? Cathy C.
