HARMONICO wishes a Happy Ridván to all who celebrate!

Ridván is the most important festival in the Bahá’í Faith, observed from the end of April to the beginning of May each year. This joyful festival is a time for prayer, reflection, community gatherings, and celebrating unity, peace, and the oneness of humanity.

May this Ridván bring hope, harmony, and blessings to everyone.

A BIG thank you to all parents and children who joined this journey of growth and adventure!

We’re delighted to share this video from the Young Gems Virtues Camp, where children explored the power of virtues - their inner superpowers - through fun, meaningful activities that engaged their body, mind, and spirit:

✨ Knowledge: Meaningful discussions about what virtues are and why they matter.
🎨 Creative: Art, play, and expression that brought virtues to life.
🤝 Active: Acts of kindness and teamwork that turned virtues into real action.

Through laughter, reflection, and friendship, our Young Gems discovered that living with kindness, friendliness, and courage makes every day brighter — for themselves and for others.

Stay tuned for our next Virtues Camp!

If you’d like to join us as a camp volunteer or explore collaboration opportunities, we’d love to hear from you - just drop us a message.

In this video, you’ll see our Young Gems exploring the power of virtues - their inner superpowers - through activities that engage the spirit, mind and body:...

Here's your opportunity to help your kids find their super-powers!!

Young Gems Virtues Camp, happening on Sunday , November 2, from 11 AM to 5 PM at the Tropical Spice Garden , Batu Ferringhi, followed by a BBQ and parent gathering at 5.30 PM.

This camp offers a precious space for children (ages 8–14) to discover their inner strengths and build the virtues, such as courage, kindness, truthfulness, and resilience , that will guide them through life’s challenges.

In these times, when many parents are deeply concerned about the pressures and troubling influences facing young people, the Virtues Camp offers a positive and empowering alternative - helping children develop a moral compass that points to their true north and builds confidence in their capacity to make wise, values-based decisions.

Please share this opportunity with friends, neighbors, families and anyone who might want their children to experience a day of joy, friendship, and inspiration.

Together, we can help our young ones shine as the gems they truly are. 💎

LIMITED TO 30 KIDS! Registration link below:

This little prayer book, affectionately called the White Book prayer book, is the brainchild of Shantha Sundram. Made in Penang, this diminutive volume has found its way into the hearts and homes of Bahá’ís all around the world. This Instagram post shared by our friends in Singapore beautifully illustrates its enduring reach.
