Feature article:
How Indian will my Aussie kids feel on their first trip to India?
Written By Kalpana Kamat
As the plane landed in India, tears rolled down my face. I made it, I thought. I finally brought my kids to the country I was born in. A world I had embraced for the first ten years of my life, an experience I could never put into words alone. I could finally show them the place I once called home.
Why we created a Parenting Hub?
Being a parent in the diaspora brings its own set of unique challenges that our cultural wisdom doesn’t always have the answer to, and mainstream mummy blogs don’t fully capture. There are approximately 30 million parents across the South Asian diaspora worldwide.
Yet when you search Google for advice on how to navigate being a South Asian diaspora parent, you get nothing. It’s why SAARI Collective is launching Australia’s first and only South Asian Parenting Hub – to allow South Asian parents to use their own voices to answer these questions for everyone.
