Shakha with Bhutanese Friends

Posted by admin on Jun 01 2009 | Past Events

Instead of holding the shakha at the usual venue, we held shakha on 30th May in Everett with Bhutanese refugees. Around 50 people joined us, and after a fun-filled extended khel session, they desribed their history and the problems being faced by them presently. Information about the same can be found here as well. The benefits being provided by the US government would end soon, after which they would be on their own. Even though they have work permit,  they have trouble finding jobs although many of them  have college degrees. Adjusting suddenly to an alien culture adds to their problems, especially for elders. We are looking to take some initiatives which would help them get settled here and make a new start. We, as students, may not be able to help them financially, but there are many other avenues to help, like helping in resume making, teaching them English, helping them get driver license, etc..  Let us know if you have more ideas and want to join in.

Shakha was followed by lunch where we got an opportunity to interact informally with a lot of people. The interaction led to a soccer match where they drubbed us 3-1 :)

Holi Bash 2009 – Pic Video

Holi – the Indian festival of colors. The sheer name of this festival brings into mind a splash of colurs. So, when Hindu YUVA, UW decided to organize Holi celebrations for the first time, it had to be special. A flood of colors that Seattle’s grey skies has never experienced. An addition to the American red, blue and white. An event full of enthusiasm, joy, wonderful colors and some delicious food. Can you expect anything more? Oh yes you can. The event was organized at the Golden Gardens beach in Seattle. We decided to hold our weekly gathering – shakha at the beach too. We played some traditional Indian games like kabaddi and kho-kho. Playing these games on the beach sand made them all the more fun. We decided to light up some real holi fire near the beach. The lighting up of the holi fire turned out to be a good idea given the cold seattle weather.
