Happy Ayyam-i-Ha

Last year, there was a simple Ayyam-I-Ha celebration 
at the Kuching Baha'i Centre, organized by our lovely
couple, Mr & Mrs Lawrence Sim.  Still remember?

However, this year, I miss the celebration happening in Kuching when the Baha'i Community 
here gave an amazing social service at the Cheshire Home
 apart from the devotional and gift-exchange programmes with the children at the Baha'i Centre 
on the February 25th evening.

So, for me, I had the opportunity to join the community in KK this morning with their programme 
to celebrate this beautiful "Days of God".

While the children at the Paediatric Ward of Hospital Likas were entertained by a group of Baha'i youths, some generous eligible Baha'i donors voluntarily donated their 450 ml of blood (equivalent to one pine) each to the blood bank.  

Since this year is a leap year, there are five "Intercalary Days".
Intercalary Days occur once a year, 
between the eighteenth and nineteenth months of the Baha'i Calendar (February 26th til March 1st), 
before the Baha'i fast begins on the 2nd of March.
 Ayyam-i-Ha is a time of feasting, rejoicing and charity 
for the Baha'is around the world.
