To welcome the beginning of spring, MBL in co-operation with Friends of Streatham Common, is celebrating a Kite Festival on Sunday the 13th April 2008. Continuing with MBL’s mission of providing cultural supports for Chinese children living abroad, we take the Kite Festival as a unique opportunity for Chinese Children to experience Chinese culture through a fun and outdoor activity. This will also be a special occasion for families with Chinese children to converge together to make friends and enjoy family harmonies.

Kite was first invented and popularized in China around 2800 years ago. It then migrated to Japan, Korea and other part of Asia and in time spread to the rest of the world. Children on the day will be able to fly Chinese kites and learn brief history of kite in Chinese culture.

To share Chinese Culture, MBL has also organized an amusing Chinese entertainment and games for our children and guests.

We believe the kite festival is both fun and educational. We would warmly welcome anyone from all background to join us in this exciting event.
