One of the most inspiring events that Crown College has experienced in this year has

been the International Festival 2013 in which we had our extraordinary guest, Wilbur Sargunaraj,

the simple super star in youtube.

During a campus-wide student gathering on Friday morning, Sargunaraj, India's first

YouTube sensation, was able to speak about his passion for doing songs and videos in youtube.

His motivation is to promote cultural intelligence as well fight for social justice. He also

emphasized in womens day to Crown students the importance of knowing and valuing people

for who they are, everyone is beautiful in this world.

On this same Friday, March 8, 2013 in the afternoon was the International Bazaar which it

exposed all the cultures from the international students of Crown which were from: China,

Ethiopia, Uganda, Honduras, Ecuador, Australia, Malaysia, Cambodia and Thailand. The

international students were able to present in this bazaar the special flavor of their typical food as

well as their traditional dances and customs of their home countries.

Also, on this same day on night was the Wilbur World Wide extravaganza at Crown

which was by far one of the most heartwarming and inspiring events. There was energy and

enthusiasm of first class passion. The dancing was by far the best Crown has ever had.

Sargunaraj during that night also learned how to do Hmong dance style.
