The celebration of each other national and cultural holidays spreads love and strengthens friendship among members of the community.
The Pakistani American Community
The Pakistani Community in America is making groundbreaking efforts to give back to the community and to make Pakistan proud. They are excelling in various fields such as entrepreneurship, Information Technology, Law and Justice.
The Pakistani community is also playing a vital role in social activities such as, holding thanksgiving food drives, not only showing respect to other communities cultures but also feeding the hungry.
The Islamic Centre of Arts in Houston held an event to honour Islamic art in the western community. The goal of this event was to provide an opportunity to different communities in America to explore Islamic Art. The event was attended by many people from different backgrounds.
Moreover, the government of Pakistan, with the help of the Mayor of Washington, held a Pakistani Food Day at schools in Washington. This created an opportunity for the children from different societies to try different flavours and cultural delights from Pakistan. Such events help in increasing people to people interaction thus strengthening bonds among nations.
