Common Celebration for Four Continents (with photo gallery)

Hungary, Budapest – The African-Hungarian Union (AHU), the Hungarian Asia Society (ASHU) and the Hungarian-Latin American Association (LATIMO) started the New Year together at a reception in the Museum of Military History. It was the first time that the members and partners of the three sister organizations were welcomed together by their leaders.

 

This is a very unusual scenario, admitted the founder of the sister organizations, Mr. Sándor Balogh in his welcome message, since this time it was the diplomats and partners who came to see the civil organizations, whereas earlier it was the members of the civil organizations who were invited to the similar events of the diplomats and other organizations. But in the future this will more often happen as the organizers are planning to make it a tradition and would like to celebrate together to bring the three continents more closely to us, and within this to Europe and to Hungarians. At the reception the leaders of AHU, ASHU and LATIMO thanked all who helped and supported their work in the past year and will stand by their side in 2013 too. We do need and will need them. Mr. Sándor Balogh mentioned at the event that in 2013 AHU is planning another volunteer medical mission in Africa, and has started preliminary negotiations with Guinea and Malawi.  

 At the reception Afromagic; Mr. Mbay Ndiaye (member of AHU) and two of his fellow-artists played the conga and sang African songs, Mr. Omotunde Komofale (also founding member of AHU) presented a fashion show combining colors and styles of Africa and Hungary, Mr. Miklós Both, musician and composer (member of ASHU) played Hungarian music, Ms. Irda Risdiarti fascinated the audience with an Indonesian dance and Mr. Géza Jeszenszky-Böhm, pianist, played Latin-American music. The MC of the event was Ms. Kelly Jack.
