In celebration of International Friendship Day, activities from different cultures all over the world were planned for students during the MT periods on April 11. PSG volunteers set up craft stations such as Bunga Manggar ( a traditional decoration used in Malay wedding ceremonies), Mehndi (Henna handpainting originating from India), and Origami Windmills and Hearts (the traditional art of paper folding originating from Japan).
Dances originating from Trinidad and the Philippines were popular with the students too. Many showed off their dexterity at the Limbo Dance ( which originated from the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean) where they had fun trying to dancing under the gradually lowered limbo pole. Lasallians had to be quick-footed while trying out the Tinikling, the national dance of the Philippines which involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance.
What a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship !
