Annual Sri Lankan Cultural Event, Sports City, Amman, Jordan:
These are pictures from the Annual Sri Lankan Cultural Event at Sports City on June 1st, 2012. Hundreds of Sri Lankans gathered at Gate 8 to enjoy Sri
Lankan foods, fun activities, and cultural traditions. The Ambassador
from the Sri Lankan Embassy participated in
the opening of the festival by lighting the lamp in the traditional
lamp lighting ceremony. Throughout the day there were costume contests,
racing, musical chairs, and dancing among other activities. Many who
attended the event also enjoyed sitting in the shade and talking with their
friends and family. During the event, Tamkeen talked with people and
passed out information about the rights of migrant workers in Jordan and
how Tamkeen could help them if their rights had been violated. Tamkeen
also passed out hats, pens, and notebooks for all to enjoy! These pictures were taken by Anael Aminot and other Tamkeen volunteers.
