Dear Claire,
My aunt Haseena is very happy because she has a new baby girl! Next week my aunt
and uncle are having a naming ceremony when the baby is seven days old. All the
family and the neighbours are coming.

Uncle Adil is getting a sheep and we are having a feast - there will be lots of food.
People often bring presents or money. We’re giving the baby some nice baby clothes.
