U.S. missions overseas celebrated Thanksgiving Day away from home in many different ways. The U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur bought school supplies and lunch to a school helping educate orphans and displaced Rohingya children in Malaysia. The U.S. Embassy in Dublin pardoned Dustin the Turkey, who is quite a talker, as you can see from the video posted by Embassy Dublin. When news of the reported pardon broke in local news, Dustin the Turkey quipped, “For legal reasons I am unable to comment on this report, however I would like to take this opportunity to say how @USAmbIreland is a very, very handsome man but he is also clearly a visionary who is a credit to his nation and all at @USEmbassyDublin.

The folks from Embassy Kabul and Embassy Bogota shared what they were thankful for, while the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv hosted an “Interfaith Thanksgiving Dinner.” The U.S. Embassy in San Salvador hosted members of the local police for dinner.  The U.S. embassies in Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Burkina Faso, Indonesia, and the Consulate General in Mumbai in India hosted dinners for embassy families and local friends.

US Embassy Kuala Lumpur

Since 2015, The Rainbow of Love – Pelangi Kasih school has educated orphans and displaced/stateless people, most coming from the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group from Burma’s western Rakhine State. Sekolah Pelangi Kasih has about 100 students ages 5-17 who study English, Malay, Science, Mathematics, and Islamic Studies. This week, nearly 20 American and Malaysian staff from the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur visited the school in Kuala Lumpur’s Taman Selayang neighborhood. They bought school supplies, toys, clothes and lunch for the kids.
