Pattni Brotherhood - Nairobi

Telephone Discussion with the Past and the Present Committee

 

During their regular meeting of the Pattni Brotherhood outgoing and the new committees, I was delighted to receive a phone call in the evening two weeks ago from Nairobi.

 

During our 45 minute discussion, I had the opportunity to talk to past and the new committee members, Trustees as well as the new Chairman Sureshbhai Ghaghada.

 

The committee updated me of their activities in Nairobi and how they envisage a flotilla of new social ventures for the betterment of the community.

 

Pattni Brotherhood and Pattni Connection website had played an important role in organising the first World gathering at Dwarka in December 2011.

 

It is now time to rekindle the same spirit to organise the second World gathering.

As an Akhil Bhartiya Federation committee member, I urged the Pattni Brotherhood committee to again play a vital role to bring the worldwide Pattni community together.

 

We agreed that we shall try to meet early next year in India and discuss this with all Pattni Samaj institutions in India.

 

I thanked the committee for extending an invitation to visit Nairobi to meet the new committee and the Nairobi Samaj members.
