Mixed ECD
Mixed culture


Enter the room everyone eat in
See there is diversity
Japanese and African sitting with Europeans
Korean and Chinese chatting
Australian giggling at Russian
German teasing French
Canadian watching American smile
Mingling Cultures

Look at diversity
Watch them smile
Watch them welcome new Egyptian
Watch them help petite Cuban
Watch them follow courageous Irish
Diversity School

Students outside waiting buses
Innocent Finnish running from devious Hong Konger snowball-armed
Timid Iraqi giggling at Joker Israeli joke
Helpful Jamaican helping smart Chinese on bus
Bulky Maltese carrying small Mexican home
DIVERSITY

Culture Day Today
Nepali eating dal-bhat-tarkari to our left
Egyptian singing Egyptian pop music to our right
As we make a turn
Japanese walks by, wearing Kimono
Indian glide by, wearing Sari
We blink, look at each other and spin around
Vietnamese smile in her Áo tứ thân
South Korean bow, wearing her Hanbok
Chinese twirl by, wearing her Cheongsam
We can not help it but smile
As a young Chinese blink, wearing her Hanfu
Pakistani in her Gharara listening to Greek
Guitar singing rock music from her own strings
Soft music sang by golden shinning harp
Loud beats made by the drums
Different types of music
Mixed School
