Dear Community Members,
On behalf of BAAWA, I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to all of you who attended and participated in BAAWA Bijoy Dibosh Cultural Program to commemorate 51st Victory day of Bangladesh on 18th December. The theme of the program was Bangladesh 2050. This time we had visual arts display in which over 30 community members participated. Along with colourful cultural night with songs, dances and recitation we also had a quiz contest for children in which 33 children participated in two different age groups. We also marked the occasion by inviting community members for panel discussion. The panel reflected on what Bangladesh has achieved so far in 50 years and what we look forward to in 2050. Over 120 community members participated in the event and we were encouraged to see over 250 of our community members' presence on the night. Along with beautiful visual display and new elements which were very well executed, the team introduced audience interaction through online live polling. BAAWA cultural team was led by Swarna Afsar who was very well supported by Nashid Chowdhury and Nafisa Akhter. Cultural subcommitte members Subah Shahid and Megha Mehreen Rahman created concept based back drops and were in charge of event decoration. Many thanks to subcommittee members Sithi Chakrabory and Humaira Rahman-Barua for their involvement in putting the evening together.
A program of this magnitude is never possible without dedicated community volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes. Thanks to volunteers who helped set up the venue before the show, helped to set up the art display, food sell and venue pack up. Thanks are due to all the backstage volunteers, scorers for the quiz contest, EC members for your support and guidance and community members beyond our committee who extended their support before and after the event.
Thanks are due to all coordinators who have sacrificed their personal time to coordinate dance and music for the event. Thanks and congratulations to all the performers for their captivating performances. Thanks to the masters of ceremony and quiz master. Thanks to the light and sound operators Tasneemul Galib Amit and Nafisa Akhter. Thanks are due to parents who have made time in their busy schedule to take their children to rehearsals and provided their house as venues. Thanks to the respectable panel members. We were honoured to have you amongst us and very inspired by what your vision of 2050 is.
