This year’s Dipawali concert 2010 organised by the Auckland Indian Association was dedicated to the victims of Canterbury earthquake.
The popular annual concert this year, held at Mahatma Gandhi Centre, had a theme and an aim.
The theme was “Sambandh” meaning “Rishta”. Based around this theme, the whole programme was choreographed by talented young performer Akshita Patel.
The aim was to fundraise for the victims of the Canterbury Earthquake.
The concert included songs, comedy and dances by participants of all ages. Dances included classical, folk and Bollywood.
To watch children and adults performing together in their colourful costumes was a delightful sight. The concert raised $4023.50 on the night and the Auckland Indian Association (AIA) have also donated another $5000.
Ticket holders in the audience were holding onto their tickets in anticipation of a lucky draw made possible by the generosity of some sponsors. Grand prizes included a return ticket for two to Brisbane, Australia, by Panworld travel, $200 and $100 vouchers from Krishna Jewellers and a hamper by Future Mobile Ltd.
