MEMBERS of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, whose motto is “love for all, hatred for none” will have an important presence at the Parklea Pakenham and District Agricultural and Horticultural Show this year. The community will have an information stall providing free books and offering free henna painting and selling bangles.
Pakenham and District Agricultural and Horticultural Show president Geoff Young said he welcomed the multicultural communities in the district to showcase their wares.
“It’s a credit to the multicultural diversity within our shire,“ he said.
