World Gathering of Sonis in New Zealand

 

The Newzealand Soni Samaj committee like to inform all Soni members that Newzealand Soni Samaj will be hosting in grand scale International Soni Samelan in Easter holidays of 2018.

 

Dates: commencing 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd April 2018.

 

We are inviting all sonis from AUSTRALIA, CANADA, USA, SOUTH AFRICA, EAST AFRICA, UNITED KINGDOM AND INDIA.

This will be a great opportunity to get together and participate in cultural, sports and revive our heritage which is slowly fading among young generation.

 

We will keep you update on programme and information as to plan your visit and participate.

Please keep this date in your diary. Thanking you,

We had international samelan in fiji in 1994, in Brisbane, Australia 2012 and Fiji 2015.

 

In Brisbane and Fiji we had over 500 participants.

 

We have sports, cultural items and open forum discussing issues affecting samaj. The New Zealand Soni samaj is holding first Samelan.


We have about 400 soni members settled in New Zealand and the samaj is very active run by young soni youth.

 

The official invitation will be lodged in September 22nd after the AGM with new committee heading Samelan.

 

In present world, Garana, Pattni, Kutchi, Vania, etc Sonis is irrelevant since soni population is migrating and intercast marriages is defeating the old thinking.
