The Children of Islam Bicentennial Jalsah 2004

The historic Children of Islam Bicentennial Jalsah/ cultural event held in Lenasia on the 19 September 2004 was an event that will be forever be etched in the memories of the thousands of participants that came from all sectors and backgrounds of a truly multi-cultural; multi ethnic and multi racial diversity of children.

Their experience clearly cried out: WE NEED THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY MORE OFTEN!!! More than 7000 children, parents, and educators. Among guests were the Deputy Minister of Education the Hon Br Enver Surty; Hon MP Ismail Vadi; and several dignataries.

One parent exclaimed: "It was like Arafat...it was like a mini hajj!!!"

Another said: "I've never seen something like this. It was awesome."
