A Skype classroom was held for Class 4A with Ms Hoang Le Thanh Tam, teacher at the HaNoi Star School in Hanoi on 23 August 2019. The session commenced with the students wishing Ms Hoang Le Thanh Tam.
After introductions, our students by turn spoke about the different costumes worn in different parts of India. In particular they described the ethnic clothing worn by the people of Assam; the women wear variations of the Mekhela, they said. In Gujarat, the festive dress is the chaniya choli for the women.
They went on to name other varieties of dress in other parts of India and also explained how these traditional clothes speak about the culture and history of these regions.

The novel experience excited and delighted the students. They said they look forward to similar exchanged in the near future. Such exchanges not only boost the childrens confidence and help them shed their inhibitions, they also enhance the childrens understanding of peoples and cultures from around the world.
