As this is the Festival of Sacrifice that signifies the sacrifices of Prophet Abraham and Ismael and their exemplary and obedient lives in the service of God as it is also known as same in Christianity, said Prof. Chan, Sze Chi in his speech as the honorary guest.

And Jenny who volunteered for finding places which was for the donating meat to the needy and for sharing with local friends as well, expressed she and her friends were impressed with the generosity of the Turkish people.

But it seemed the most delighted ones were the children. It is always important for children having these occasions to feel the atmosphere especially in this century. And they did enjoyed the evening very well.
