Every year Ethnic Technologies takes pride in honoring Hispanic Heritage Month. This year Ethnic Technologies wants to celebrate the achievements of a local school, Dawn Treader, for their community growth and their appreciation of the Hispanic culture.

During September-October, Dawn Treader School will enjoy celebrations to highlight their large and growing Hispanic community. The school is located in Paterson, NJ, home to a highly diverse mix of communities: African American, Bangladeshi, Turkish, Middle Eastern, Balkan and Latin American.

In fact, Paterson boasts the largest Peruvian enclave outside of South America, commemorated by the downtown area’s nickname of “Little Lima.” Yearly traditions such as the Peruvian Independence Day Parade at the end of July and the “Our Lord of Miracles” religious procession in late October bolster the Peruvian cultural presence. Paterson’s vibrant Latino population includes many people from Peru and the Dominican Republic, and to a lesser extent from Mexico, Puerto Rico and Colombia.

Ethnic Technologies wants to continue to partner with Dawn Treader School as they celebrate their diverse community. Ethnic Technologies has worked to help people of all ethnic backgrounds and faiths for more than 25 years.
