Bhutanese Festival

During the past few weeks, Wonder & Wiz kids have been making their own masks, drums, and rattles in anticipation of their Bhutanese Festival. The children each decorated their own peace flags and everyone wore a sari as they paraded through the space celebrating Bhutan's special approach towards life in the 21st century, which, as national policy, is described as the pursuit of "Gross National Happiness." The Bhutanese have chosen a different path towards development, rooted in deep respect for and protection of the Kingdom's unique resources. One of the children explained to us that Bhutan's king is only 28 years old and is the 5th king of country's monarchy. Guests were treated to some Bhutanese cuisine, which consisted of a dish made with rice, vegetables, and cheese. We were delighted to have so many parents share in this experience.
