Little India Boy

Schools commemorate Racial Harmony Day on 21st July.

On this day in 1964, Singapore saw racial riots. Racial Harmony Day serves to remind our pupils that social division costs us dearly and that race and religion are potential fault-lines in Singapore society.

It is a day for schools to reflect on, and celebrate our success as a harmonious nation and society built on a rich diversity of cultures and heritages.

This is J's 1st Racial Harmony Day. I had initially wanted to buy a Malay costume for him but due to our proximity to Little India, it was much easier to get a costume from there.

We finally settled on this brown color Indian costume which cost abt $20. We bought a bigger size hoping that we can recycle it next year.
