" Noëls du
Monde "
in Divonne-les-Bains, France
SLAG has been invited by the tourist office of
Divonne-les-Bains to host a Sri Lanka day (5 December
2002) as part of their celebrations.
The idea of "Noëls du Monde" is
to organise throughout the whole month of December
different Christmas happenings. During 24 days,
one country a day will be presented, the idea
is to share and show the worlds' different Christmas
traditions, or for countries where Christmas is
not celebrated the idea is to show any special
day dedicated to the children. Many cultural events
will take place in the town, music, dance, storytelling,
exhibitions, etc. The idea is to present the country,
its Christmas traditions, its traditional food,
the traditional handicraft, and if possible some
artistic work.
The Advents Calendar window: Each day at 7 pm
an advents calendar window will be opened in some
place in town. The window will be decorated with
typical things from Sri Lanka, pictures, maps,
etc. The idea is to have a group of people from
Sri Lanka that would animate the opening of the
window, by telling a little about Sri Lanka and
especially about the way Christmas is celebrated.
It has then been suggested that a group of Sri
Lankan children would come and sing a few Christmas
songs. A traditional plate of food will then be
offered to the public.
This is an ideal opportunity to present Sri Lanka
to the residents of Divonne-les-Bains. If any
member wishes to get involved in the project,
please contact Ruvan or Chinta of the Committee.
We are looking for a group of individuals that
are willing to prepare a Sri Lankan rice and curry
meal and serve tea for 40-50 persons (all expenses
will be reimbursed); members and their children
who are willing to be part of the choir group
and; assistance in preparing the "Sri Lanka"
window. We also appreciate your feedback/suggestions
as to how we can "improve" our presence.
