Happy Deepavali Folks

Its the festival of lights and I wish everyone a Very Happy Deepavali !!
We miss home a lot during this time because of the mitaies our padosi gave !! And the patakas we used to burst..laksmi bomb under a tin with a timer was our favourite !! Once I burnt my hand burning a laksmi bomb with a very small bathee...so kids take care remain safe...Now we try to keep the same thing going here in finland and had a small kidsclub party last weekend with about 18 lovely kids who played some games...prayed together..listen to the stories...ate some mitai together and had lot of fun..thank you all for making this a wonderful event for the little ones...here are few moments from the event...

Kids Drawing Bookmarks for a good cause

I was approached by a charitable organization if we could help them with making some bookmarks which they might use as their brochures in future and I approached the kids with the idea and they all where there to have some fun and also help in this good cause..We had this event today and the kids had to draw 3 bookmarks each and the subject were Education , Environment and Family..We had kids from age 3 onwards to 12+ and each one did give their best and as always I had the volunteering parents helping me with different activities..The kids came up with some amazing art and the creations were truly appreciated with the folks who were around...I am sure in the small way they could be of some help to a bigger cause..Adios till next time..Dee
