I poured so much into Anna's journey, and I truly believe her story will resonate deeply with many of you.

Subh Divali, my Story Time Production friends from around the world!🪔 Today, Diwali is celebrated in Suriname. As I mentioned many times before on my blog, Suriname is a multicultural country! In this South American/Caribbean country, many religions and cultures from all parts of the world have found their home. In 1873, the first Indians arrived in Suriname as immigrants. Most of them were tricked into coming to work on the plantations in a country far away from their home and families. I even remember seeing a documentary about a woman who had survived the Surinamese immigration. She had told her story about being tricked into leaving her family. It was never her intention to leave India, but she was forced to come to Suriname by her captors. Despite the sad history of our ancestors, we Surinamese people have come together. We share each other's food, cultures, and traditions. The Indian immigrants who came to Suriname introduced us to the delicious food from their country. Consider our renowned roadside culture, our affection for baras with chutney, and many other Indian delicacies that Surinamese people enjoy. We have persad, rasgulla, laddoo, lapsi, and many more Indian dishes that are a favorite among locals. Just like that, they also brought their religion along. Hinduism is widely practiced in Suriname and is one of the largest religions in the country. Today we celebrate Diwali in Suriname. On this light festival, Hindus in Suriname light their diyas to seek blessings from the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi.
