Lejla Balzanija 2005
|
The Fifth edition of Lejal Balzanija was organized on Friday, 24th JUne 2005 in the Balzan Parish Square. We can proudly state that this year's activity was the best to date. The organization of the activity by the sub-committee for Cleansing and Activities of the Balzan Local Council, under the chairmanship of the Deputy Mayor, Mr. Joseph M. Galea, with the help of the two local band clubs, Our Lady of the Annunciation Philarmonic Band Club and the St. Gabriel Band Club was of a very high standard indeed.
Singers J. ANVIL and his dancers, together with AUGUSTO CARDINALI and young singers made this evening an entertaining one for all with food and bingo. Bingo players were not disappointed this year, more time was allocated, than in previous years.
The Council would like to publicly thank all those who participated especially those who attended and enjoyed the evening in our village square.

World Refugee Day 2005
|
On Saturday, June 18 refugees will be cooking and serving food, playing their music, sharing their experiences and displaying their products (such as bags and hats made while they are held in detention).
An information stand will be set-up with relevant posters and documentation while a main-stage will host various performances of musicians, dancers and actors from within the Maltese and refugee communities.
Artists are being called upon to join in a celebration marking World Refugee Day to be held on Saturday, June 18 in Church Square, Balzan.
The event is being organised by the Emigrant's Commission, the Jesuit Refugee Service, Malta (JRS) and Moviment Graffitti with the collaboration of other NGOs from the local and international field and under the patronage of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
This year, the theme chosen internationally by UNHCR is that of courage. We shall be marking the courage these people call upon while trying to survive in their war-torn countries, or countries run by dictators in such a manner that there is anarchy in the streets, with nothing left to eat, with people disappearing on a daily basis, tortured, killed or simply missing.
World Refugee Day will recall the immense courage that makes them pack up their belongings and set off on a journey that will forever mark their lives. A journey that takes them through mountains, across the sand dunes of the Sahara, onto a rickety boat that sometimes manages to make it across the Mediterranean. The courage that allows them to then endure more months of hardship, at times years, as they are closed up in detention centres locally while awaiting the outcome of their asylum request.
Let us celebrate the courage of the world's refugees, people who have been forced to abandon home and family but whose dignity has never left them!
