United Nations Day- 24th Oct 09

2009, October 26, Monday


Celebrating United Nations Day? It was a blast! We totally enjoyed ourselves.
It was a drag getting up so early to get the kids ready and all, but in the end it was so worth it.
We reached there early, as requested to help set up the station. We were unsure as to what to expect. But to our sweet surprise, it was a small, yet heart-warming environment. We quickly got to setting up the stuff that we had brought. The signs, the costumes, the food and the freebies.
Ivan was so at home, amongst his own. Many came up to us and started talking. Ivan seemed to know them all. It was time for the rest of the family to get to know them. Everyone was so helpful, cheerful and delightful.
We learnt about other cultures and costumes. We ate their ethnic food and played their games. It was such an inviting environment, that you can’t help but be at ease and enjoy yourselves. But the best part was, these special children, were amongst their own. They were accepted, appreciated and admired as they performed.
As the morning went on, it just got more fun. I could definitely say, that every one of us truly enjoyed ourselves. Even Immanuel made friends and was occupied, while we were busy with the booths.
It was a truly pleasant experience. My family and I are definitely looking forward to the next gathering for sure!
