Letter from Piara S. Khabra
Member of Parliament for Ealing Southall
I wish to congratulate DAAP at its achievements in delivering drug education to all the communities in Ealing and particularly in Southall.
The organisation has brought a number of issues to my attention in the past and I hope that we can continue to work together on these.
I am also very pleased to note that Perminder Dhillon is the CEO of the organisation. I have known Perminder since she was a teenager when she worked on women's and community issues. I was also present at the Life, People and Freedom Conference in 2002 at the Southall Community Centre when the Rt. Hon Charles Clarke launched the Punjabi drug education Video 'It couldn't happen to us' which Perminder produced for Punjabi speaking parents. Well done to Perminder for persisting in working with the local communities.
I must commend the DAAP Chair Dr Raj Rajarayan OBE for his excellent leadership in ensuring that the organisation goes from strength to strength. Congratulations at the launch of the report 'From Migration to Maelstrom, Experiences of the Tamil Community in West London' today.
Please accept my apologies at not being able to join you today. My best wishes to all of you at the AGM and I take this opportunity to wish them every success for the future.
Yours faithfully
Piara Khabra MP
Ealing/Southall
