For Diwali, this past year, Roma Foi and her friend organized an annual Diwali banquet to benefit a charity in India called the Gandhi Leprosy Seva Sangh The funds raised were sent directly to Roma's family in India to buy supplies needed for those affected by leprosy. In addition to donating to a worthy cause, the banquet allowed all of our little ones to get involved in the community, learn about their Indian culture, meet new friends, and perform on stage for the first time to a Bollywood song in front of a live audience!
This was definitely a debut performance for many of the littles, including Arjun! He was the youngest in the age range from 3-9 and probably the proudest, most excited little performer of the bunch! He absolutely cherished every second of this entire experience from learning the dance for the first time to the actual stage show on the day of the banquet! After several weekly practices lead by Roma Foi, all the kids did an amazing job on performance day and definitely made it a memorable experience for all! What an excellent idea by Roma Foi and her friend! Daddy and Mommy were very proud of Krish and Arjun for their dedication to practicing and their amazing performance! The song they danced to, Subha Hone Na De, is still at the top of their favorites and Arjun still requests to play it in the car, calling it "Hello Kendi Cam"!
Happy Diwali!

Since the show was such a hit, Krish, Ariyan, Nyla, Arjun, and Sevak actually performed the dance again many times at different occasions.
