OEOC partnered with DFW Play and Plano International Festival committee on October 14, 2023 to demonstrate zero waste activities and stage an eco play on the verdant green lawns. As the nostalgic strains of Birendra Krishna Bhadra’s Mahalaya heralded Ma Durga’s descent to the mortal world, DFW Play presented a vibrant and meaningful street play-style performance, centered on Climate Change and its effect, and, pledged to take care of Mother Earth in the future. We hosted stations for the following to show and tell how less than 10% of waste can go to landfills:

• Sewing and Quilting

• Arts and Crafts

• Gardening and Composting

• Games

• DIY products

• Vendor and Waste supervision

This Diwali, come celebrate and learn Garba from Vandita Parikh of Nruthya Shakti Dance Academy! Practice the graceful steps and let the vital energy of the earth travel through your feet and connect you to your divine self. Wear comfortable and festive clothes, and bring your dandiyas and reusable water bottles. We are thankful to our sponsors, Kaki Reddy and Asila Emz of Pinnacle Montessori for the use of their location year after year.
