My final volunteer option is to take place December 5th at CVCC, the local community college in my home town. It is the Hmong celebration and appreciation event. I anticipate this experience as being much more different compared to the previous Hispanic celebration because I know very little of Hmong culture. Therefore, I am researching a bit of typical Hmong heritage and its valued customs and traditions:
During the New Year's celebration, Hmong dress in traditional clothing and enjoy Hmong traditional foods, dance, music, bull fights, and other forms of entertainment. The Hmong ball tossing game pov pob is a common activity. Their typical religion relies in spirituality and shamanism.
This information is only from a Wikipedia source. My goal is to test these facts by talking to those with first hand knowledge-the Hmong population. By December 5th pictures and clarifications on the above assertions shall be posted.
