Happy Pakistan Independence Day

Pakistan’s Independence Day ((Urdu یومِ آذادی) also known as Yaum-e-Azadi was celebrated in style last Sunday 10 August by a packed programme of Cultural Awareness Events for invited guests at the Elgiva theatre. It was the first event held by the Chesham Asian Welfare Society, chaired by Masud Ahmed, the new group formed to let the ordinary people in ethnic communities know about activities in Chesham. It celebrated the History of Asians in Chesham with a presentation by Parveiz Aslam, and was so crowded by happy adults and children from many ethnic backgrounds, all enjoying themselves, that I feel sure it will be the start of many similar events. Thankyou to all who worked to make the day a success.
