On Saturday, 11/13, Senator Persaud attended the celebration of Diwali at the Marine Park Alliance 1st Festival of Lights event series.
It was a wonderful cultural celebration of prayer, music, dance, fashion show and sweets. Senator believes that understanding other cultures, makes us tolerant of others. Diwali marks new beginnings and the triumph of Good over evil and light over darkness.
This Diwali celebration was in partnership with Pandit Sanjai Doobay, Marine Park Alliance, Assemblymember Jaime Williams, Stephanie Samaroo, Amar Dyal. Tara (Shivram Bakery), Philip Grant Esq., JoMart Chocolates , Senator Andrew Gounardes and Weinstein Helene E Assemblywoman.
Thank you also to NYPD 63rd Precinct, NYPD 69th Precinct , Sue Ann Partnow (CB18), Inga Oneale(Civil Court Judge-elect), Midwood and Canarsie Lions Clubs and all community resident who attended.
