Leicester City came alive with laughter and excitement on the 7th October 2016 with music, dance and a splash of colour as Asda partnered with Music Arts Leicester to organise a children’s rangoli competition. Children from around the city arrived at the venue, dressed in festive attire eager to show their creative talents. Three talented children, were awarded gift cards worth £50 from ASDA for creating some brilliant Rangoli designs. When asked on what she will do with the gift card, one of the winners said: “I will give it to my mother, so we can go shopping together and I can buy lots of Ferrero Rocher’s and fireworks for Diwali from ASDA!”
The atmosphere was buzzing with festivities as all 25 excitable children who participated, used their creative talent to make Rangoli designs.
Similarly, this year, to enhance the festive mood, ASDA partnered with Panchmukhee’s Durga Puja celebrations at Harrow Arts Centre on 8th October, where 25 local children created beautiful Rangoli designs. Three children who took part, received ASDA gift cards worth £50 for their creative designs.
Debdutta Manik, mother to one of the prize winners said: ‘’The Rangoli activity for children has been a brilliant experience. It is a great way to engage the kids. They were really into it. My daughter who cannot talk was actually typing on her communication aid to tell us which colour she wanted. And her friend Ayona and I helped her create it. At home we do ‘Alpona’ which is the Bengali version of Rangoli and its great when ASDA does something like this to keep kids engaged...’’
