Holi Fun!


by Tokai

This year, Holi took place on 3rd March...with the full moon. The people in our complex wore their old clothes and gathered together in the big park where all the kids usually play. Holi is the festival of COLOURS that celebrates the coming of the Spring season, and we smear color on people with powders, or spray them with powders mixed in water. It's messy fun! We should not use poisonous colours as they are harmful to the skin, we need to find safe colours to play with. We need to play safely too, not putting the colours in the eyes of other people. Holi is a time to have fun and it is a time to simply enjoy yourself – fun out with all of our friends. We wait eagerly for Holi to arrive every year. No one is fighting during Holi, we are all happy to be with each other.

Here is a photo Mauraunty took from her flat while some of the kids were playing!

Exams are here – and members are gone...


Things are a bit quiet at Mustard Seeds Library...exams are on.
Hope everyone is back soon.
Thanks for this great photo, Jojo!
