Bahrain, 2 Nov 2014: Bellevision Bahrain organized Bahrain Darshan, a study tour of historical sites of Bahrain for the children of their members here on Friday October 24.

 
The primary idea of this tour was to educate children on historical sites of Bahrain. It was proposed by none other than Afreeda Castelino, an active member who volunteered to be a tour guide and she proved herself as an exceptional tour-guide.

 
The members and their children gathered at Andalus Garden parking area on Friday at 8.00am. The excitement was evident on every ones faces.  Bellevision Bahrain president Joel D’Ssa welcomed the gathering and said a brief prayer. Alfreeda Castelino briefed on historical significance of sites in advance and also elaborated at the site. The snacks, juices and water were served with regular intervals while on bus.  All of then ate their lunch in the open park area.

 

 

The group visited the Bahrain Museum, Bahrain Fort, Archeological site Saar Settlements, Sheikh Mohammad’s camel farm, Bahrain International Circuit, Tree of Life, Oil Museum. The questionnaires were handed out by the authorities to rate their historical sites by the feedback from visitors.

 
Although the organizers intended to visit more historical places, time and distance was a constraint.  It was indeed an educative tour to remember.

 
Joel thanked everyone including Afreeda for preparing brief on historical sites to educate the tourists. At the end children and adults were given question paper by Alfreeda that contained questions related to the sites visited.
