November brings with it a colorful array of celebrations from various cultures and communities around the world. This month, the community can learn about the vibrant festival of Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights celebrated by millions in India and around the globe. In the United States, Native American Heritage Month is observed to recognize the contributions and history of the indigenous peoples. In Guam, All Souls Day is honored on Nov. 2, and it is recognized as a local holiday. You’ll find many of the residents at the different cemeteries throughout the island visiting the graves of loved ones to pray for them, light candles, and offer flowers. We also have Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Japanese Culture Day, National Integration Day, World Fisheries Day, and World Kindness Day. Not to mention, we have special QR codes for Guam events from the Guam Visitors Bureau, Guam Time, D204 Lions Club International we have partnered with for boating safety featuring Coastie, Lions Clubs effective literacy websites, and more! Additionally, Transgender Awareness Week and World Kindness Day offer opportunities for our community to embrace understanding, inclusion, and the beauty of our diverse world. Through these events, we can appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures, identities, and traditions that come together to make our global community so unique and special.
