A few of our children wanted their photo taken with Mrs G, who works with the children with their EAL work.  The children wanted to show off their Romanian and Pakistani cultural clothes. 

Mrs G is wearing sunflowers on her dress. One of the embroidered motifs on Romanian blouses and dresses is the solar motif which can represented as the sun or the sunflower.

It is an ancestral symbol that speaks of divinity, the warmth of the sun, which gives life and generates abundance, as well as the cycle of life.
