Holy Holi: March 16-17th

We arrived home from our week long adventure in time for the Holi fire on Sunday the 16th.
Holi is the Hindu festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring.

Holi is celebrated by running through the streets throwing dry and wet colors at anyone and everyone— during Holi everyone is fair game. There is singing, dancing, and music while communities come together to celebrate the festival of colors!

The Idex volunteers celebrated Holi together with a community of school children and their neighbors.

It was so much fun, but I was cleaning color out of my ears and nose for days!
