FROM THE DESK
The first week of the new year has also marked the beginning
of new lunar moon and the holy month of Rabi-ul- Awwal. This
month has special significance as Muslims around the globe
celebrate the birth anniversary of our Prophet (Peace be Upon
Him) on 12th
day of the month.
For Pakistanis in Australia it was a very sad start of the year
with the tragic car crash near Mooney Mooney on Boxing Day.
This resulted in three youngsters injured and two young
Pakistanis losing their lives (Inna lillah ewainnah elahe rajeoon).While the funds were being raised by the community to send
the deceased back to their families, thanks to the efforts of
Pakistan High Commission and Consulate General in Sydney, all
the expenses were taken care of by the Government of
Pakistan. The last sunset of the year 2013 saw Mohsin Raza and
Azhar Iqbal travelling back home for their final journey.
Thank you very much for your votes to the Bankwest Happy
Communities Program. The group will receive $200 for the
sports equipment. We look forward to work with the
community in 2014 and for latest updates please follow us on
twitter @piainc.
