Deepavali with Sree Narayana Mission and Woodlands Community Centre
Celebrating Deepavali with Art, Culture, and Connection at Woodlands CC
On
10 October, 27 students embarked on a Deepavali activity in collaboration with
Woodlands Community Centre Indian Activity Executive Committee (IAEC). Five
student committee leaders planned an afternoon of interactive games as well as
a rangoli sand art and diya painting activity. The seniors had a wonderful
time, creating beautiful and impressive artwork. The students then took the
seniors on a tour of the Holy Tree Sri Balasubramaniar Temple. The guides of
the tour were from the IAEC who communicated the beliefs of the Hindus and
helped to give insight to the students and seniors into the Hindu religion. It
was a good time for intergenerational bonding and increased religious and racial
understanding.
