Nepal can be few and far between, but Worldfest allowed people to talk with representatives of dozens of cultural organizations on campus.

“We’re just running our table to help spread the culture of Hong Kong. People come over, ask questions and stuff like that and it’s really great,” Lincoln Lau, a sixth semester consumer behavior major and member of the Hong Kong Student Association said.

For others, Worldfest represented an opportunity to explore the history of places like Nepal, a landlocked country in South Asia.

“We have a lot of different things that people don’t know about Nepal. Nepal is filled with many different ethnic groups…I also incorporated the food, which is a big part of Nepali culture”, Mamta Bahndari, the president of the Nepali Student Association said. “We’re promoting Nepal culture, because not too many people know too much about Nepal’s culture.”

Other organizers and representatives at the event spoke about what their group meant to them, calling their fellow group members ‘family.’
