On 30 March 2008, the Aga Khan Development Network hosted a Navroz reception in Dushanbe, Tajikistan with over 600 attendees including Jamati members and invited government and diplomatic guests.
The event featured an exhibition of children’s artwork on the theme of Navroz. The art pieces were created by children at specially organized master-class workshops led by eminent Tajik artists. Bonu Saidova, a 9-year old participant in the exhibition, remarked “I liked the art classes and especially the artist, who has shared with us his personal secrets about art, and I am very happy that on this Navroz my painting was shown at such a big exhibition.”
