Residents and staff at Prince George Duke of Kent Court, in Chislehurst, have enjoyed a Bollywood Night complete with traditional Indian street food, and a dance performance from a local group of talented dance students.
Keen to learn about different cultures and celebrate the Home’s diversity, staff at the care home came up with a Bollywood themed night alongside Freemasons of the New Ripon Falls Lodge in Bromley. Member Niraj Madlani, his wife Dinta and friends supplied and cooked a variety of dishes for residents, staff and guests to enjoy, which was followed by a dance performance where everyone got involved.
Manjit Mahil, a teacher from the local school, Farringtons brought along three of her students to dance, spend time with residents and take part in the community event.
Resident Len Willis said:
It was an exciting evening with lots of dancing and music. I also had the opportunity to try some traditional foods from India, and they were very tasty!
Activities Coordinator Diane Connor, who helped to organise the event, said:
It was a colourful evening filled with laughter and energy. Various people from our local community contributed their time to make the event a success, which made all the difference. We’re already planning our next community event.
