Vecta House Care Home in Newport recently hosted its annual culture celebration party, an event dedicated to honouring the rich tapestry of culture and diversity within the home.
Residents, staff and visitors collaborated to create a vibrant atmosphere filled with the aromas and flavours of traditional dishes from various countries. Each dish represented the unique heritage of those who prepared it, allowing everyone to experience a taste of different cultures.
The festivities were further enhanced by live entertainment from the Isle of Wight Indonesian community, who captivated the audience with a selection of traditional Indonesian dances. Their colourful costumes and dynamic added to the celebratory spirit of the day.
Guest and residents a alike indulges in the delicious food sharing stories and laughter as they sampled each other’s culinary creations. The delight didn’t end with the meal, as everyone joined in the dance, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie that resonated throughout Vecta House.
The annual culture celebration party not only highlighted the diverse backgrounds of everyone involved but also reinforced the importance of community and togetherness. It was a truly heart-warming event, filled with laughter, enjoyment, and deep appreciation of cultural diversity.
I hope there was a good old fashioned full English breakfast from Blighty among this cultural and diversity food fest
A celebration of all things British and union jacks would be more appropriate..bless them it must do their heads in seeing all this in their lifetime.
Is parading the ‘diverse’ people in front of the residents really the way to go?
It hardly adds to integration when people are viewed as ‘exhibits’.
Maybe the other people commenting on this piece failed to see the three white people who are also in the picture. They seem to have also been part of this event.
