See all- Free Online Session - Why We Celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi?Link visible for attendees
Ganesh Chaturthi came and passed by! We had Ganpati at home, but were we able to explain to our kids why we did, what we did?
Join for a free workshop for Kids age 5- 12 hosted by Vancouver Indian Forum & presented by Vagmi Baxi from Bloom Your Dharma. This is a free workshop at a glimpse of what we do and how we operate our classes on Hinduism and Indian Culture. This session will be delivered through engaging storytelling and fun, interactive play-based learning.
Raising children in the modern world with all its distractions can make them disconnected from their cultural roots. Parents and families trying to maintain these connections while juggling their own busy lives and doing it alone is often insufficient. Children need to learn with others their own age and from similar cultural backgrounds.
