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 as a representative of the Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Interest, Dr Tony Buti, MLA, special guests Dr Jags Krishnan MLA for Riverton, Mr Terry Healey, MLA for Southern River, Mayor Patrick Hall, City of Canning, President of ISWA, President of NAWA and other distinguished guest of Banglar Mela 2023.
I must mention our deep sense of appreciation to all community members who attended and participated in Banglar Mela 2023. It was a flawless event. It was such an enormous task that the BAAWA Cultural Team had done in a very discreet way and made it remarkable, that was led by the BAAWA Cultural Secretary Swarna Afser and supported by Assistant Cultural Secretary Nafisa Akhter Chowdhury and Nusrat Zarin Lima. BAAWA Cultural Team including subcommittee members, coordinators and performers had worked so hard day and night as they had only 3 weeks to prepare themselves to showcase this vibrant all day cultural program. 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 platinum sponsors Lotterywest, City Of Canning, KI Health Services, silver sponsor Ausbangla Enterprise, bronze sponsors RnZ Fashion and Suncorp Bank. BAAWA counts their support. Congratulations to Ms Ratna Khan who won an iPad at Suncorp quiz competition.
My sincere thanks to sound coordinator Tasneemul Galib Amit supported by Nafisa Akhter Chowdhury Thanks to Rajiv Gnana from Shamira Enterprise for technical support.
A program of this greatness is never possible without dedicated community volunteers; Sarwar Morshed, Sabbir Hossain, Ashequl Hoque Joarder Raj, Wahid Khan Nipu, Sam, Plato, Smai, Noquibul Islam Nicky, Arian Kingshuk, Safwan Anwar, Shifan Ahmad, Shafin Khan, Adri Paul, Rahubul Islam, Mustavi Ahmed, Rozin Razzaq, Saptahrshi Seal, Noirit Seal, Kamrul Ahmed, Faiyaz Zahid, Proshun Sarkar and others. BAAWA always appreciates and acknowledges their commitment and generosity.
Thanks to Anis Zaman for event photography and Kazi Ziaul Islam for covering live videography.
A big Thanks to BAAWA President Dr Anisur Raham for his wholehearted support.
I am also very grateful to all BAAWA EC members. Without their dedication and commitment it wouldn’t be possible to execute this Banglar Mela 2023 which is the biggest and most challenging event in BAAWA calendar year. It would not be enough just only mention the names of Dr Saumitra Seal, Chai Prue, Kaisur Rahman Razin, Majedul Islam, HM Jubide Khan Sumon, Kazi Shahid Kaushik, Kifayat Islam Mozumder, Dr Mohammad Rafiqul Alam Babu and Dr MSN Shahid Rajoo. They are the individuals with selfless natures, without their absolute support it wouldn’t be possible to deliver a successful Banglar Mela 2023.
And, last but not the least, thanks to my family members for their unconditional support in my challenging time throughout the year.
BAAWA Cultural Secretary Swarna Afsar is going to send off another email with a comprehensive ‘vote of thanks’ to the community.
Thanks
Kind regards,
Abu Saeed Anwar
General Secretary
