Onam Celebration 2023
India is synonymous to a rich cultural diversity and the happiness that it brings. Every Festival comes with a lesson from Nature and a story of value from mythology. As the festival unfolded in all vibrant hues of flowers and color at Hindustan International School, Padur, it was spectacular to watch “God ‘s own country “come alive in all extravaganza and excitement .
It was an honor and joy to have Her Excellency – YASIEL BURILLO Ambassador and Consul General of Panama in India joining the festivities. Her Excellency has a Master’s in Business Administration and Post Degree in Business Management and has over 15 years of experience focusing on regional marketing in Latin America. Her presence and chosen traditional attire added to the significance of the celebration. Having her to witness the enthusiastic programs put up by students was an encouragement. The beautiful Thiruvathira Dance, the presence of Mahabali and Vamanan depicting the story of Onam , the very enthralling songs sung for the occasion was a treat to watch.
The Chief Guest in her words of appreciation and joy expressed her delight to have been able to be present for the festive occasion. She emphasized that it was this Cultural Diversity that makes the country so special and honored. Every festival has the message of Unity, Prosperity and Divinity which makes the land rich in values and heritage. She encouraged the Students to initiate the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) Compact initiative as in Panama, marking its commitment towards the global fight against climate change and the transition to a clean energy future.
Our Chairman, Dr Anand Jacob Verghese, Deputy Director, Mr Salim Mahmood, Registrar, Mr Suresh Guruswamy, Dean Academics, Mr Johnson Mathews and Principal, Ms Susan George, staff and students came together to celebrate the occasion in a spirit of love and togetherness.
Hindustan International School believes in creating Global Citizens. Understanding, knowing and respecting our roots is one way to achieve it. The festival of Onam celebrated in grandeur with significance was a testimony to this fact.
