It was the July of 2018, I was recently migrated to Portugal three month before.
There was festival organized by indigenous Limbu community, inwhich I do
belong myself. Furtunately I was closed to the secretory general of the Kirant
Yakthum Chumlung (The Limbu community organization). There I had to
volinteer involvement to the organizing commeetee. I gave company to the team
to programm hall booking, preparation, shopping and the like. It was possible
because that time I didnot started working in Portugal and I had more free time
to support to the organizing commeetee.
There were two volenteer groups of women, one group for the making SelRoti
and the other group for the making other foods. In the day of the program, guest
and the participants were served with Achar (pickle), Masu (Pork fry and
chicken wings barbaque) serve with cold drinks or beer. It was the first festival I
was celebrating in the diaspora. Being a social science researcher I was
experiencing myself as a paritciapant and observation.
