"Of course at these ages, I hadn’t fully grasped the meaning or significance of Kwanzaa. As a child, it was just nice to be out and about in communal spaces, eating delicious food, and being social."Thank you to Kenyetta, Shanee, et al. for sharing your Kwanzaa stories with us. We see so many similarities to Thai culture - community, food, and celebration.We hope to share these cultural connections with our Thai communities in the new year!

Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa - in America, we refer to these three celebrations when we say, "Happy Holidays". This season, Sticky Rice asked for Outside Perspectives from our fellow PCVs worldwide to learn more about Kwanzaa.This is the first of two stories we got back that we'll be sharing during the Kwanzaa celebration! We hope you'll learn as much as we did.
