South Hills Platoon is back for another year of the Teej Festival. During this event, you will be able to interact with the Bhutanese American women and dance to Nepali music.
The Bhutanese Community Association of Pittsburgh (BCAP) has asked for assistance in setting up and tearing down the event. In between setting up and cleaning up we have been invited to partake in the celebration.
Scope of work: Set up/Breakdown of tables, 200 chairs, and sound system. We will also stage the kitchen area and help with serving the food.
Men are welcome to join and this a family friendly event. Kids are welcomed!
Lunch will be provided by the community.
Typical scene in a celebrations are dancing, singing, getting together with friends and telling stories, wearing red, green or yellow clothes (sari) and sharing festive foods.
The festival is dedicated, in many parts of India, Bhutan and Nepal, to Parvati, a Hindu goddess of power, fertility, love and devotion; as well as of divine strength and power.
Please note that Teej has become a community event or festival, and not necessarily a religious one.

Background Check
Background Check:
Certain host organizations, such as schools, may prohibit volunteers with certain types of criminal convictions from participating in a service project. Accordingly, The Mission Continues is requesting your consent to conduct a criminal background check in the event that your Platoon is engaging in a service project with a host organization that requires a criminal background check. By checking the box below, you authorize The Mission Continues to conduct a criminal background check.
If such a background check is required, it will be completed and used in accordance with applicable law. The Mission Continues does not automatically disqualify persons from Platoons based on criminal convictions. We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to move forward in their lives through service, at the same time that we seek to protect the communities we serve together.
