We wake up daily with a newly updated number, we forget that is another sister or brother. Be loud and louder! Voice the voice of the thousands of lost generations. It isn’t a choice, it’s simply an obligation. Don’t be silent, thousands have already been silenced.

Nowruz Mubarak- Happy New Year
A great success for our very first event, a massive thank you to everyone that was involved, especially the families for the beautiful food.

The event was a mere reflection of what Nowruz stands for, coming together to celebrate our traditions and cultural roots but most importantly ourselves. As Haji Dr. Najibullah Lafraie quoted “it is important for our youths to know their roots”.

I hope everyone has a successful and prosperous year ahead.
