This is a such a fantastic day of the year, and everybody is so proud to come and dress up in their beautiful, colorful and amazingly stunning outfits!!
Since we have 72 countries that were participating and represented at our school it is great to see those kids walk hand in hand coming from all over the world, being best friends and not caring if you come from a different country, eat different foods, talk a a different language or have a total different religion and customs at home. No they are friends beyond borders!!
It makes me so proud to see all the kids and parents dress up for this really special day! It's like a mini UNITED NATIONS! If we could just take an example of how well everybody gets along and copy this to the rest of the world, there wouldn't be any wars and genocide killings. Unfortunately this is an utopia! Nevertheless I hope by attending an International School like this that at least this generation will be a great example of how it can work! If you just put your prejudice aside and work and live together!!

Wow that is really awesome! so what are you all doing in SA?
All these people work for International companies, who have offices/warehouses/business in SA. Like cell phone companies, Car companies, Computer Companies, Construction and Oil companies and mostly their top level positions are the expats - mostly our husbands...

Again, so beautiful! Those little ones from Korea are GORGEOUS! So, so cute! So nice to see all the unique little personalities and costumes!
Really lovely! Reminds me of the Parade of Nations before each Olympics.
Your daughters are gorgeous (but you already knew that).
