Kids were all dressed with headbands by our volunteers to perform the ‘Salam Farmande’ Surūd on stage. Hundreds of live audience applauded their performance with Salawaat on Muhammad wa Ale Muhammad (s). Their performance left many in tears of joy and the hall resonated with the slogans of ‘Labbayka Ya Mahdi’ and ‘Labbayka Ya Khamenei’.
The kids received goodie bags upon entering the venue and a group of female volunteers did face and hand painting for them. It was all managed by our youth sisters.
Multimedia video clips of Imam Ruhollah Khomeini and Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei were played on three spread out projector screens in subsequent intervals throughout the event.
