Fir Vale based Islamic group Minhaj-ul-Quran organised the event,

Waheed said,

“It’s for the whole community anyone can join in. People are also giving food for the children. Local businesses and local residents come out to see us.”

Shahida said,

“It is important that our children learn from us we want them to be good citizens for the future. What a blessing that the rain stopped, it was raining heavily this morning and just as we stepped out it stopped.”
