End of Ramadan

In honor of Eid (today - Tuesday), I'm featuring some bilingual packaging that I bought in Nairobi. A lot of stuff is made for east and north Africa and the middle east - with shared packaging for all the countries represented by those markets.

Arabic is not widely spoken in Kenya, but I benefit by seeing how well different manufacturers adapt their designs using Arabic and English.

So why the Pampers? (Our youngest is 5.) We don't have any announcements to make! Friends recently had a baby, and this is one of the presents we bought for them.
