In a one-of-a-kind event to celebrate Sikh culture and heritage among children from the community, the Supreme Sikh Society of New Zealand will be organising Sikh Children’s Day in October.
The two-day programme (October 1 and 2) at Gurudwara Sri Kalgidhar Sahib in Takanini will see several religion-themed competitions that will give young Sikhs the chance to participate in events such as gurbani (prayer) recitation, Sikh art, dastar bandhi (turban-tying) and kavishri (poetry).
The highlight of the event would be the national gatka (Sikh martial art) competition, which will have participating teams from Tauranga, Hastings, Auckland, Te Puke and Hamilton.
The second day would see a range of entertainment activities for the children such as slides and bouncy castles, bungee runs, and volcano adventure and safari train.
The event, which was started six years ago, saw more than 600 children participate in the celebration last year that was also attended by parliamentarians Mahesh Bindra from NZ First and Parmjeet Parmar from National party.
Parents interested in celebrating the day with their kids can drop an e-mail to supremesikhsocietynz@gmail.com or call Gurnoor Kaur, the event manager, on 02102233147.
