On nignt of May 12th first SANA Sindhi Shaam ever in Philadelphia region was a hit. Believe it or not the Hall was full of our Sindhi brothers and sisters and of course children were running around. Approximately 140 people attended the gathering out of them 20 were children. Hall capacity was 160. We had wonderful program which includes speeches by regional secretary, vice president, Joint Secretary, local Philadelphia chapter president ada Mazhar Memon. Plus children talent show, sindhi quiz heavily participated by children. Awards and gifts were given out to children which were donated by ada Roshan Shaikh and myself (Sajjad Siddiqui).
Music started at 930 PM which we are very very thankful to Ada Ustad Mazhar Hussain. He was great. Wow what a singer he is. Most of Sindhi brothers started dancing on the flour on famous Sindhi songs. Thanks to Ada Mazhar Hussain and we are proud of him.
