📍Manama, Bahrain @postcardfromfidel ・・・ I'm home now, writing you shortly after watching iftar at a park here in #Bahrain. The mosque at the park held the iftar for migrant laborers from countries like Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Malaysia. Faces darker than mine, lighter than yours; united by a common faith. These men who come from the poorest conditions on the planet, now working in this heat for more than 12 hours a day; they all sat patiently, praying together. They haven't eaten or taken a drink the entire day, yet for nearly an hour they wait as cold water and hot food are placed in front of them. Faith certainly has power. ..... ..... I've questioned my faith to the point where I don't know if I retained any of it. I can't put my faith in humanity so how can I have faith in religions started by humans? It's a question I'm constantly asking and not accepting the answers to. Yet tonight, and every night I hear the muezzin call the adhan, I am reminded of Faith's power to unite and guide us. Faith guided some people to donate enough money to feed these people and millions around the world like them during this holy month of Ramadan. I simply wish faith and compassion were a year around event. ..... ..... Zumreta, you and your family are living testaments to what happens when one religion seeks to end another; as well as how faith can lead people to safety and new lives. Your story is inspiring and your beautiful gap-toothed smile is one of my favorites in the world. Thank you for hearing my words tonight and inspiring me to write this postcard to you. ..... ..... #postcardfromfidel #teamkaptainkenny #travelnoire #mytravelcrush #blacktravelfeed #greetingsfrom #visitbahrain #fotobh #ramadan #travelgram #folkgood #travelisthenewclub #traveltagged #peoplescreative #instagood10K #moodyports #moodygrams #heatercentral #ig_creative (at Manama, Bahrain)
