World Cuisine:
Food options were far and wide as we were able to enjoy delicacies from around the globe. A few dishes of note included:
Anzac Biscuits (New Zealand) – Traditional cookies of golden-brown color made of oats, coconut, syrup, flour, soda, and butter.
Kung Pao Chicken (Greater China) – Famous Chinese dish consisting of tender, marinated chicken pieces, lip-tingling spices, and crisp roasted peanuts.
Munakasrulla (Finland) – Delicious omelet rolls filled with stuffing made of cheese, herbs, meats and fresh vegetables.
In addition to the food, country representative of India and the Netherlands went above and beyond by including special activities next to their booths. India included Henna painting while the Netherlands showcased three different traditional games: Sjoelen, Spijkerpoepen, and Grabbelton.
IFF by the Numbers:
This year, 18 countries and regional booths were represented with over 2,800 fairgoers in attendance! Our ambassadors, as well as countless parent volunteers, worked hard to prepare for the event and ensure that every detail was looked after.
Over 130 upper school students signed up to volunteer their time, many of which manned booths at the newly created Games Zone which featured fun games for children. At the day's end, over RMB 182,000 was raised!
As PAFA’s mains fundraising event, the funds raised at IFF will go towards enrichment and extracurricular activities for all of our students from nursery to grade 12, as well as community events.
Our Amazing Country Ambassadors:
None of this would have been made possible without the effort and dedication of our country ambassadors and parent volunteers. The passion and enthusiasm of these individuals truly made a difference in the success of IFF.
“I love the diversity and creativity about how PAFA planned this IFF and I was super amazed at some countries’ decorations, like Germany and SEA. Most importantly, the wonderful friendship established between all country ambassadors during IFF was my favorite thing out of everything.” – Tina Zhang, Australia/New Zealand Country Ambassador.
“We enjoyed this event as it lets us know the different cuisines and makes us aware of what is expected in a particular country. IFF is a good platform for one to interact with other people and it makes one feel proud to share one’s traditions and culture. It's also a way to give support to the community we live in as in India we say-‘Vasudev Kutumbhkam’ one world family.” - Sumitra Kaul, India Country Ambassador
IFF was a truly successful event that brought together a great exchange of culture through food, music, entertainment for the whole community. Most importantly, it was a celebration of what makes SCIS such a unique place of learning - our international and diverse community.
SCIS. Truly International.
