2019-11-20


One of the most anticipated events of the year, the 2019 International Food Fair (IFF) took place on Saturday, October 2019. This rich and diverse festival is a community favorite that features traditional dishes from around the world, showcasing the uniqueness of SCIS’s international culture.

IFF is our Parents and Friends Association (PAFA)’s biggest fundraising of the year at SCIS Hongqiao. The annual fair is a celebration of world cuisine, culture, and community. Country booths are decorated to reflect the flavors of our participating countries, and student performers share ethnic songs and dance routines. It is an opportunity to share the things that make us each unique - and those that bring us together as one.

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
