We had a lot of Diwali celebrations this year and a lot to reflect on and be thankful for this past year of 2017!
This year, the charity banquet benefited Bonton Farms, a small urban farm located in an impoverished South Dallas community, called Bonton, that is a food desert (an urban area where it is difficult to buy affordable or good quality fresh food). The farm is providing jobs in the community and fresh, healthy produce for local residents. This spring, our little dancers will take a field trip to visit the farm and help plant crops and learn about the farming process!
The boys were in separate dances again this year for Roma Foi's Annual Diwali Charity Banquet. Krish participated in the older kids' group, "The Diwali Diyas and Dhols", while Arjun was in the younger kids' age group, "The Little Diyas". Krish performed to a garba-style song called Nagada Sang Dhol (with advanced moves this year!) and Arjun performed to a cute song called Happy Diwali which is was absolutely perfect for a Diwali celebration and performance! Both boys were super excited to perform and thoroughly enjoyed preparing during the weekly practices leading up to performance day! They also had a lot of cousins and friends participating this year, including Dhruv, Ariyan, Nyla, Shaan, Simrin, Reian and Niam. All the kids did a fantastic and impressive job during their dances, and Mommy and Daddy couldn't be more proud! Thank you to Roma Foi and Kina Auntie for their hard work and putting together another wonderful Diwali program!
