Asian Voice and Gujarat Samachar have always believed in bringing the community together through our events- that cater to every age group. Often elderly people, especially the Octogenarians feel left out, as children and family grow up and move away. AV and GS believe every elderly man or woman is a hero, an ideal that generations should look upto and fondly remember. We consider it's our privilege to honour these stalwarts who have contributed so much to this community's and our progress in their small or big way.
Keeping that mind, we have organised several honouring ceremonies since 2011 in the UK, across many cities, under News Editor Kamal Rao's initiative and have successfully honoured 250 people.
After the success in Leicester, we organised an event in Manchester to honour the elderlies over 80 years with co-operation of Jain Samaj Manchester on Saturday, 18th July 2015 at 12 PM to 4.30 PM in the Jain Community Centre, Manchester. The event will include Bhakti Sangeet by Bhartiya Vidhya Bhavan artists and other groups followed by a pure vegetarian meal.
