[perthbashi] BANGLAR MELA 2017/ বাংলা বর্ষব রণ ১৪২৪ - Only 10 Days to go[1 Attachment] - Bangladesh Australia Association of Western Australia

Dear community members,

We are celebrating Bengali New Year 1424 (বাংলার মেলা ২০১৭/Bangladesh Fair 2017) on 23 April (Sunday) at Lower Bush Court, Murdoch University to spread the message of Love and Hope. The celebration will start with Children’s performances, colourful Rally (MONGOL SHOVAJATRA) and Group songs. On behalf of BAAWA, I request you all to wear traditional colourful dress to make this event more vibrant.

Rally:

To participate in the rally, please make sure you come by 10:00am to the ground as the rally coordinator needs some time to organize the MONGOL SHOBHAJATRA. BAAWA will organize the banner and some festoons to share among the participants. But you are most welcome to show your creativity and bring your own.

Children’s Art Competition:

There will be two categories:

Group A: Kindy up to year 3

Group B: Year 4 to year 6

Time: 1:30pm to 2:15pm

BAAWA will provide A3 art paper ONLY.

Please bring art pencil, colour pencil, eraser or water colours according to your requirements. It is important you bring a hard board to keep your art paper on that surface as the ground surface is uneven and NOT suitable for drawing.

Theme of the art competition: “Bangladesh”.

Attractive Prizes will be awarded for the best 3 paintings in each category.

Boishakhi Fashion Show:

“বাংলা বর্ষবরণ” (পহেলা বৈশাখ) is a celebration of Bengali heritage and culture, a tradition unblemished by modernity. This year we will have a ‘Boishakhi Fasion Show’, showcasing the traditional dresses, representing the festival and Bengali culture.
