Diwali with Children

‘Diwali with Children’ was held on Nov. 2nd at the Redmond Library. The focus of the program was on educating children and adults on the significance of Diwali and the manner in which it is celebrated in India. The event was very well received, with more than 80 people in attendance. 



Children especially enjoyed the storytelling session and the various kid-oriented activities that followed. They got to participate in hands-on activities like making clay ‘diyas’ and trying their hand at ‘rangoli’ patterns. The model Indian ‘puja room’ made out of cardboard and other household items attracted a lot of attention and interest.
