We at ASAUK believe that alongside holding many educational events, it is vitally important to have some fun once in a while! Therefore, we invite you to the biggest event of the summer break, to celebrate the Independence Day of our beloved Afghanistan.
As most other Afghan Associations will be conducting the Independence Day celebrations in the 'usual' manner, we at ASAUK thought of presenting our fellow Ex-pats with something a little 'different'.
The principle aim of the event is to participate in the celebrations of the Independence Day as well as promoting integration amongst the entire Afghan community, not just the youth!
Please feel free to bring along your friends and family members to commemorate the sacrifices of our forefathers in a fun and family-oriented environment.
The sports for the day will be:
Football,
Volleyball,
Badminton,
Chess,
Talab a kan,
Karramboll,
Top Danda/ Rounders,
Egg on spoon race and
Two legged-races
Light Refreshments will be provided, but please do bring your own food.
Please confirm your attendance via email (info@asa4uk.com) or facebook
