It was a memorable event for BMS-NSW. It was beyond my expectation. Until yesterday I don’t know so many local community leaders of Australian main stream will be present today in the charity handover program ;
1. Jihad Dib MP, State Member for Lakemba(Labor)
2. Khal Asfour, Mayor- The City of Canterbury-Bankstown.
3. Bilal El-Hayek, Councillor- The City of Canterbury-Bankstown.
4. Gandy Sindyan- Founder Lighthouse Community Support and Multicultural Officer, Campsie Area Police Command
Mr Tony Burke MP (Labor) was supposed to be there but at last moment he missed the program. There was a brief speech from each leader and they all appreciated our (BMS-NSW) generosity. They all are involved with “Lighthouse Community support” for last 10 years. They deliver the needs to peoples house from their warehouse everyday.
Thanks to our EC members who were present in this noble program today- Dr Mamun Chowdhury, Dr Iqbal, Dr EMON, Dr Sheikh Hyder Topu
Special thanks to EMON for a beautiful banner
Thanks to Titu (Ex councilor of Canterbury and Bankstown city council) to arrange this program. He made all this boxes and wrapped them for us and spent hours of time. We did not pay for his cost. He does that everyday for last one month. May Allah bless him. Today I learned something in this country how the leaders of two opposite parties work together for humanity. Topu has done a Video for the whole program which he will share with you soon.
We will give gift voucher of our rest of the money to Bangladeshi families soon
Thanks
Rashid Ahmed
President, BMS-NSW
