Dear friends,
We are shortly going to take to the stage today to present dance-drama “Sonai Madhab”. It’s a romantic tragic tale, one of the 10 ballads of "Mymensingh Geetika", a famous Bengali folklore from the Mymensingh region.
It’s indeed fascinating to see people working together for such a vibrant Bengal folk activity despite coming from different geographical origins – Bangladesh, India and Hong Kong – and various professional backgrounds such as bankers, teachers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, scientists and dancers; and age groups, ranging from 7 years to 70 years, to promote Bengali culture in Hong Kong.
This is a free entry event. But with an intention to help the underprivileged of Hong Kong society, we have joined hands with “ImpactHK”, a highly reputed local charity organization working for homeless people of Hong Kong. A donation box is placed at the door to collect donations and “we will hand over the proceeds to “ImpactHK” after the event.
Please wish us success!
