Every year, Waterford organizes an event called UWC (United World College) Day where students from all over the world share aspects of their culture such as traditional dress, food, dances, and music. The Waterford student body currently represents about 70 countries in total, which makes for a very interesting festival.
The day begins with the Parade of Nations, where students from each country come forward introduce themselves, followed by dances and performances from different cultures. The rest of the day students have stalls where they serve food from their countries for everyone to sample.

I really enjoyed UWC Day this year. It was fun to see everyone representing their home countries, and there was some really great food! While UWC Day allows all of us to showcase our own cultures it also teaches us that we are KaMhlaba- all of one world.
