For every celebration, especially the local ones, Tee’s school goes out in a big way to teach the children theoretically and experientally, the meaning and significance of each festival. For Deepavali, the whole school was decked in Saris and Punjabi Suits and parents are welcomed to join in the fun. The school had coloured rice artwork and lamps/candles everywhere and all things Indian from floor to ceiling. It even SMELLED Indian, with sweet Jasmine trails.

The Hari Raya photos are not up yet because I didn’t bring my camera that day and only have handphone photos so I’ll check them out later to see if they’re worth posting *smile*

Kids surrounding a long table of goodies and activities at the school’s assembly hall. On the wall are pictures of people in all kinds of Indian outfits around the world.

Tee with an onlooking teacher, selecting some Deepavali goodies (specially designed packets by the school filled with Muruku, La Doo, and some other Indian cookies, not sure what they’re called) for herself. On the walls are artwork by the children.

Tee feeling and smelling fresh Jasmine flowers with some of her goodies on her right hand.

Colourful Indian bangles that were presented to the girls, including a jewelled putu/bindi, whatever you call it, that thing on your head!

Apart from Indian Deepavali cards (not shown), there were also real Indian costumes displayed and explained to the children. They now know what a Sari is and a Choli etc etc etc.

Some of the Indian goodies on the table. Oil lamp, candles, incense, jasmine flowers……the kids got to paint their hands with real Henna (of course, some got them all over their bodies, not just their hands!)

Tee with Jasmine flowers on her hair, colouring in the Book Room.

Then finally, doing an Indian dance on the floor. Real drama queen. It’s genetic.

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
