We live in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, and I LOVE IT!
The school where our kids go is maybe 75% Indo-Canadian, and generalizing (which I hate doing, but it’s just eaiser in this instance) they are the nicest, friendliest, most family oriented, group of people you’ll ever come across.
We just celebrated Diwali at our school. There was food and dance and henna and the kids and staff even wore the cultural suits. It was so much fun.
The girls borrowed some suits from our next door neighbor, and felt like princesses in them. they even got their hands done by one of the mom’s at the school. This was a week or so ago, and you can still faintly see the designs on their hands.
Here’s a pic of the girls in all their glory:
