FESTIVAL CELEBRATES GWENT CULTURAL DIVERSITY
19th September 2010
Speaking at today’s Newport Multicultural Festival organised by the Pakistan Association of Newport and Gwent at Maindee School in Corporation Road, William Graham AM said:
‘Events such as today’s Multicultural Festival are excellent ways to promote mutual understanding and awareness between the different communities of Newport and its surrounding area. I was delighted to be invited to celebrate Eid and to pay tribute to the many ways that the local Pakistani Community contributes to Newport and Gwent.’
Mr. Graham, the Conservative AM for South Wales East heralded the fundraising efforts of the Pakistan Association of Newport and Gwent in aid of the Pakistan Flood Relief Appeal saying:
‘The local Pakistan Association has worked tirelessly to raise money and awareness for the victims of the terrible floods in Pakistan. It was a pleasure to present a cheque to Mr. Barbur and his fundraising team whose hard work has meant that over £60,000 has been raised for this most worthwhile of causes.’
