Celebration for the International Peace Day on Sep 20, 2009

Rooyesh Cultural Society managed to have a community celebration for the international peace day. In our community announcements, we had called this event as a celebration for “Peace and Love.”

It was a pleasure to have a large number of people attending this evening of festivity and socializing. To begin with we had the chance to talk about our Society’s new ideas and programs for this fall and winter. In addition briefly, we discussed Society’s goals and missions in order to get more people involved for future work.

Down the road, we had the chance to listen to a beautiful poem that was read by a participant Mrs. Felora Talebi. This poem shed light to our peace and love festivity, as it reminded us of how much peace is appreciated.

The poem was from Malek O-Shoara Bahar(1884-1951), name of the poem was "joghd jang" which was written in March of 1950 by Bahar.

This piece of poem took us to the world where peace sells less while war becomes the misery for human life.


We moved on to hear a beatiful poem read by Mrs Samira, the poem was from Fereydon Moshiri (1926-2000) from the "gozargah Tarikh."

This evening became a chance for participants to share their songs and ideas about how we could bring peace into our homes. We could laugh and learn while we had more chance for information exchange, listening to some live music Santoor/ Tonbak.

In one sentence; this evening was a simple way of celebrating and refreshing our minds. Thanks to everyone who attend and helped.
