Celebration of Tihar festival at Disability Center

The second biggest festival in Nepal is “Tihar”. We also know it as the festival of lights. Every year it is celebrated at Centre for Children with Intellectual Disabilities (CCID). CCID is the daycare center for the children with intellectual disabilities. Volunteer Society Nepal (VSN) runs the center together with the volunteers.

How do we Celebrate the Festival?

The children dressed up in ethnic costumes and performed dances with the teachers, staff and our volunteers. They participated in “Deusi Bhailo” and sang many songs. Hence, the children had lots of fun. They also enjoyed eating fruit and sweets. An earthen lamp was lit at the main door of the center. This is a part of the tradition. The joy on the faces of the children is a sight to see. Festivals like this bring out the best in them and give them confidence.
