On March 14 the Tulu Koota Family Picnic was held at Mishreh Garden in Kuwait. The annual day of family fun and celebration began with the traditional lighting of the torch by the Tulu Koota president and passed along to past presidents. Children of all ages participated in field day style games, including a zig zag race, mother and child soccer ball relay, and the sack race. Couples competed in a blind walk relay and musical chairs.
Tulu Koota is an Indian culture organization that provides a community for Indians living in Kuwait. The organization provides opportunities for southern Indian natives to gather and participate in traditional rituals, discuss issues and practice their native language. Typically over 2,000 members of the community participate in the Tulu Koota family games.

It's very nice to see different ethnic groups being celebrated in Kuwait. This is a good way to keep peace and unity if groups can feel like they are a part of Kuwait but also still have their ethnic cultural ties.
