Immigration Information Session Review

Page 2

Management committee in its first meeting discussed the question

of what matters are currently of urgent need in the community

and conducted a quick research of the community and identified

that international students currently completing their studies or

recently graduated need trusted sources of information, therefore

Melbourne Jamaat Australia worked hard to cater for the urgent

need of the community.

On 25th March, Melbourne Jamaat Australia organised a Immigra-

tion Information Session inviting Brother Ashraf Palasara; a regis-

tered immigration agent and Brother Aun Lakhani; Managing Di-

rector of RKPS Immigration and Education to present a special pro-

gram for our Momineen students and graduates who require in-

formation and guidance on their immigration related queries.

Brother Ashraf Palasara and Brother Aun Lakhani travelled from

Brisbane, Queensland to provide a presentation and answer all

questions related to Immigration.

The event started with the recitation of Holy Quran, followed by

introduction by General Secretary Farrukh Sewani. Br. Farrukh in-

troduced Brother Ashraf who gave a 30 min detailed presentation

and then spent next 45 mins answers all the questions of the par-

ticipants. Brother Aun Lakhani then gave some advice to all stu-

dents and encouraged students to engage with Jamaat. Vice Presi-

dent Raza Gulani then presented aims and objectives of Jamaat

and encouraged participants to become members.

Vice President invited Brother Mussadiq Lakhani to present a small

token of appreciation to Brother Ashraf Palasara and Brother Aun

Lakhani.

Participants then enjoyed BBQ while networking with guests and

other participants. A few participants became members and some

volunteered for future events.

Members of Friends Forum, Panjtan Society of Victoria and Melbourne

Jamaat Australia collectively organised the yearly camp. Conducted on

10th March to 12th March 2017, this 3 days and 2 nights camp was lo-

cated at Fosters near Wilsons Prom.

This was by far, the biggest camp with the highest number of partici-

pants. Each participant had a great time and left with new lifetime

friends.

Maulana Kumail Mehdavi also participated the event. The participants

had a great time with loads of activities, daily five times jamaat prayers,

tasty meals, a lot of jokes, lots of discussion and much much more.

Participants have requested organisers to organise the camp twice a

year and look into future family camp too.

Following are some of the pictures from the camp trip.
