Celebrating culture together
One of our team members (Syeda in Kowhai) is part of the PANZ (Pakistani Association of New Zealand), they held their first independence day and Eid-ul-adha celebration in Hawkes Bay in August. We had the privilege of attending this special event with both the Hastings and Napier Mayor’s standing up to make a speech, as well as Syeda’s daughter who is only 12 years old, in front of about 100 people. This was followed by an amazing cultural feast and the cutting of cake.
Thank you Syeda. We are very lucky to have you on our team, so we can share such rich cultural experiences together. She also brought into Kowhai some cultural clothing and the children have really enjoyed dressing up and listening to some Pakistani music too.
