ANAA memorable performances at Orion Function Centre, Campsie
Sydney (CREF 2014 Report); It was an event not to be missed and will remain in the hearts of all those present as the beautiful
children from Australian Nasheed & Arts Academy (ANAA) sang on stage with promising voices, ‘you are my brother, I am your sister, we are one big family’ – a message of peace & harmony for Multicultural Australia.
The second event of the biggest Ramadan and Eid Festivities in Australia was held at Orion Function Centre, Campsie on Saturday. The event started at mid-day and ended at 7.00pm. Variety of colourful stalls were placed by exhibitors including clothing, jewellery, henna, books, education, and business promotions. The audience was engaged with an exciting children quiz competition on Islamic knowledge including beautiful recitation of Hamd, Naat and Nasheed by the Australian Nasheed and Arts Academy.
Children were given prizes on their excellent performances. It was remarkable to see that young Australian children have vast knowledge on Islam.
