Younge House

Last Friday, Chandni Prasad and Deepti Mittal offered a wonderful opportunity for Younge House to learn about an Indian celebration that has made its presence known here in America:  Diwali, the Indian festival of lights.  After telling us the Hindu-based story of  Lord Raama returning to his kingdom after defeating his enemies, they helped us make beautifully decorated candle holders so that we too could light the way for the coming holiday season.  Of course we nibbled on something sweet so that we might have a good year.  Hurray for cupcakes!  Thank you Chandni and Deepti for teaching us about this celebration.   Throughout our study of immigration we will continue to think of all the wonderful traditions that immigrants have brought to America, which we now all can benefit from.
