Salaam,This morning a "Food and Handicraft Charity Bazaar" was being held at Wisma Indonesia in Tehran. It was initiated and organised by the 'Dharma Wanita Persatuan,' the Indonesian Ladies Association in Tehran, in association and cooperation with ladies of the embassies of ASEAN countries + China and Japan.
The objective of the bazaar was to raise fund and donation to help victims of last month's natural disasters that have severely hit Indonesia...the Merapi volcanic eruption, Mentawai tsunami and the Wasior flood.
The event was officially inaugurated by the Indonesian Ambassador, followed by the ribbon cutting ceremony by the spouse and all the other ladies representing the participating embassies. Variety of handicrafts and food items from participating countries were on sale. There were also many raffle prizes won and as well as auctions of interesting items donated by the host and other missions.
As it turned out, the bazaar was indeed a great success for the host, well-attended by the participating missions, family members as well as our local Iranian guests. All for the benevolent cause to help alleviate the suffering of the bereaved families of the victims of the disasters.
Wassalam.
