Length of Drive: 15 minutes
Expected End of Event: ~10:30
Total Expected Time volunteering: 8:30-11am
Contact Information: Ajmal (Father) number is: 585-371-1441, James (Case Manager) number is: 585-204-7284
Extra Details: The Dome Arena will most likely be VERY busy, which is why we are adding a 15 minute buffer window.
During the prayer service, you can wait in your car or drive somewhere else. Be back to the Dome Arena by 10:30am
The Ahmadi family does not speak much English, so the conversation in the car will be sparse. You can use the Google Translate App from English-Persian
When you arrive, you will likely have to call Ajmal multiple times. If he does not respond, call James, the case manager. Additionally, they are the upper apartment, so you have to walk in the main door, up the flight of stairs, and knock on the door to their apartment.
Information about Eid ul Adha: Millions of Muslims worldwide this week will celebrate Eid ul Adha, an Islamic religious festival commemorating Prophet Abraham's faithfulness to God after being tested with the unfulfilled command to sacrifice his son. The holiday also marks the end of the yearly Hajj pilgrimage.
