Throughout the Awards Ceremony week, students were recognized for the hard work they have put in towards classes this year. Although classes and the event itself were different due to COVID, we would like to share the outstanding work all students have done this year. We appreciate the ongoing support from families and are looking forward to students joining us for another year of learning in September!
Gurmat Center Sangat was blessed to have Baba Iqbal Singh Jee (Baru Sahib) attend the 11th annual Awards Ceremony in 2004. Baba Jee was given a tour of Gurmat Center's school and Gurdwara buildings. Families enjoyed a very inspirational Katha by Baba Jee outdoors for 90 minutes. One of their most memorable messages was about the importance of waking up at Amrit Vela and the importance of teaching children how to read Gurbani.
Gurmat Center Sevadars were invited to speak at a Global Development Studies class from the University of Fraser Valley. The presentation began by discussing Gurmat Center’s mission, followed by a presentation on India’s pandemic response. This presentation will help students design campaigns that aim to help the current situation in India. The Sevadars will come back near the end of the semester to review and help carry out campaigns.
