Celebrating Diwali
NYCHA’s Asian American Association ushered in Diwali, the ancient Hindu festival of lights, in a lively celebration on October 25 at DC 37 headquarters. General Manager Michael Kelly greeted attendees, noting that he appreciated “the opportunity to reflect on the significance of Diwali, which celebrates the inner light within all of us – the spirit to overcome darkness, the courage to make the world a better place. That spirit is the heart of our NextGeneration NYCHA vision – to create safe, clean, and connected communities for our residents.”
Lighting the diya – or commemorative lamp – are Cost Estimator Gunjesh Kadakia, Program Manager Harjit Singh, Analyst Rekha Shah, Mechanical Designer Nanda Vittal, and Community Coordinator Sheela Sreekumar (from left to right).
