With the blessings of Guru Sahib, Khalsa Camp New Zealand 2018 was held for the second year running. The camp was held from 2nd to 6th February at Camp Adair in Hanua.The camp was attended by over 100 campers. The target audience was
16+ years, however families also attended. Some of the Parchaariks attending the camp
included by Bhai Navreet Singh (UK) and Bhai Harman Singh (Basics of Sikhi).
It was so nice to see so many new faces to the camp. Campers had so much positive energy that during the camp you could witness so many positive transformations. Campers who had not worn a Dastaar before, experienced wearing a Dastaaar and loved it so much that they wished to keep it on. Other campers felt so inspired by the Sangat and Pyaar of Sikhi that they wished to take Amrit. There were also campers who felt the power of Sarbloh Bibek Langar lovingly prepared with Simran and Gurbani that Sarbloh Baatte were on their next shopping list! It was a really inspiring and uplifting week with Satguru Ji and the Saadh Sangat.
Khalsa Foundation New Zealand have promised to continue holding events and programmes throughout the year, so if you are living in New Zealand please keep up to date with all the different Seva happening and get involved.
