An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow
confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

latino community...




In my neighborhood, most people come from two countries,Mexico and Ecuador. They have different customs and traditions. First I want to talk about the Mexican people. They have strong traditions, but the most important for the Mexican families is the day of dead. At night people go to the cementery and they stay there the whole night. The next day,they go to the church and bring flowers,fruit,bread and the traditional mole poblano.
Mexicans have a very important holiday. This is September 16th because it is independence day. But in New York City, people celebrate may 5th because most Mexican come from Puebla. Mexican families believe in God and the Lady of guadalupe. The religion is catholic. Mexicans believe in the Holy family and they try to keep their families together.Every Sunday, the families go to church.

Ecuatorian people celebrate three days of Carnaval. In this celebration, they make special food and they play with flour on the face and throw water one each other.
