We were grateful to come together with our community to celebrate Lhakar, also known as “White Wednesday,” a special Tibetan cultural movement observed every Wednesday to honor and preserve our Tibetan identity, language, culture, and traditions.
Through sharing food, speaking Tibetan, wearing traditional attire, laughter, and meaningful conversations, we continue to keep our culture alive and strengthen our community bonds. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special. We look forward to celebrating together again next month on the 17th. 🤍
