Dear Community Members,
Last Saturday evening around 650 audience, performers and volunteers enjoyed BAAWA Annual Concert 2016. On behalf of BAAWA Executive Committee 2015-16, I would like to thank our audience, performers and volunteers to make this event an enjoyable one!!
We have received lots of comments and feedback and overall it’s a positive one, one particular comments from “Dana Lepinzan” (from Romanian Community) was “This Show is getting better every Year! Congratulations BAAWA!”
Last 3 months of relentless effort of program coordinators, Choreographers, parents of all kid’s performers & kids, were amazing. By the end of 3 months all performers were shining like the stars in the stage!!!!
I remember a “Coordinator”, who has a new born baby but she was brave enough to say “yes” and last three months twice a week, she was organising rehearsal for kids, her love & passion’s for our culture and pass it to our new generation is unbelievable. Of course I am talking about Prajna Karmaker!!!!
Venue was not an issue for us, as Amit and Swarna’s house was always open!!!!! Thank you Tasneemul Galib Amit, Swarna Afsar, Shaouli Shahid & Hazera Begum Simi and others, for providing venue’s for the Rehearsals for last 3 months.
Our Cultural Secretary “Kamrul Ahmed” was behind the plan, his hard work and dedication made this event an enjoyable one. We have been fortunate enough to have a very motivated and dedicated Team in BAAWA. Again a special thanks to Cultural Secretary Kamrul Ahmed, Assistant Cultural Secretaries Bapi Mazhar & Doyel Shahreen Khaleque and cultural sub-committee for your enormous effort for today’s cultural program.
We have so many passionate talents in our community, on behalf of BAAWA I like to recognize following few:
