My school does a cool thing every year called Global Village, where students display, perform, or demonstrate aspects of their culture or any culture. It is a week long event that ends in the festival on Friday, and each country sets up a booth with lots of yummy multicultural food! Today was Henna Day.
Henna is a dye that comes from henna trees, and is traditionally used in Arabic countries, India, Africa, and other regions for tattooing in both men and women. Sometimes it is used in wedding traditions or simply as part of social and holiday celebrations.
I got to try applying henna onto people's hands. It was hard at first but the results turned out well! I borrowed some henna and took it home to try on my family.

If you want to try this, you can buy henna in cones from cultural stores or online.
