Dear Community Members,
I hope this email finds you in good health and spirit.
I, on behalf of BAAWA, extend a very hearty vote of thanks to chief guest Mr Yaz Mubarakai, MLA for Jandakot, Parliamentary Secretary to Honourable Minister Dr Tony Buti of BAAWA Annual Cultural Program (ACP) 2022 and special guests Dr Jags Krishnan MLA for Riverton, Mr Terry Healey, MLA for Southern River (apologies as due to COVID, he wasn’t able to join us), Ms Fatima Payman, Senator WA, Professor Amit Chakma, Vice Chancellor, UWA, Mr Said Padsha, Senior Policy Adviser Citizenship and Multicultural Interests, Mr Shatish Nair, President ISWA and Dr Vasu Dev Regmi, President NAWA of BAAWA ACP 2022.
I must mention our deep sense of appreciation to all community members who attended and participated in BAAWA ACP 2022. It was a flawlessly breathtaking event. It was such an enormous task that the BAAWA Cultural Team had done in a very discreet way and made it remarkable, which was led by the BAAWA Cultural Secretary Swarna Afser and supported by Assistant Cultural Secretary Nafisa Akhter and Kazi Shahid Kaushik. BAAWA Cultural Team including subcommittee members, coordinators and performers had persistently worked hard for the last 2 and half months to showcase this vibrant cultural night. A program of this magnitude is never possible without dedicated community volunteers. They extended their support to organise rehearsals for on-stage performances and all other off-stage activities. Thanks are due to parents who had made time in their busy schedule to take their children to rehearsals.Thanks and congratulations to all performers for their captivating performances.
On behalf of BAAWA, I extend a very wholehearted thanks to the program sponsor Lotterywest. Since 2006 Lotterywest has been providing sponsorship towards BAAWA’s individual events. BAAWA counts on their continued support to keep these events going.
My sincere thanks to lighting and sound coordinator Tasneemul Galib Amit. Thanks to Rixon Theater manager Ryan Sedgwick and Mathew Brown.
Thanks to Rafiq Islam and Shahidul Hasan Swapan for event photography and videography. Thanks to Sharmistha Saha, Biswojit Boshe and Fabiha Abanti for media coverage.
A big Thanks to BAAWA President Dr M S N Shahid Rajoo for his support towards the team whenever it was required.
Last but not least I am also very grateful to all BAAWA EC members. It would not be enough just only mention the names of Mohammad Rafiqul Alam Babu, Mohammad Majedul Islam, Syed Mohammed Maruf, Mohammad Mannan (Mamun), Kifayat Islam Mozumder, HM Jubide Khan (Sumon), Kaisur Rahman (Razin), Dr, Tanveer Shahid Kingshuk, Dr. Saumitra Seal, Syed Tanvir Raihan Russell and Dr Anis Rahman. They are individuals with selfless nature, without their absolute support it wouldn’t be possible to deliver a successful BAAWA ACP 2022.
BAAWA Cultural Secretary Swarna Afsar is going to send off another email with a comprehensive ‘vote of thanks’ to the community. Thanks to Swarna Afsar in advance.
Thank you all.
Kind regards,
Abu Saeed Anwar
General Secretary
