Students had a blast celebrating Thanksgiving in the USA. Every student brought typical food from their home country, demonstrating the rich cultures from around the world. This activity was a way to deepen understanding of each students’ culture not only for their classmates but for them as well. Students described and shared with one another the type of food each had cooked at home. Finally, students were given the opportunity to share their individual talents with everyone here at ALA in the ALA talent show. Karaoke, dancing, and make up were part of the wonderful talents students performed, delighting both teachers and classmates alike. At ALA, culture plays an important role in developing awareness and empathy about each other.
