Description
The Bakersfield Sikh Women’s Association (BSWA) is excited to announce our seventh annual 5K Walk on April 21, 2024, at Riverwalk Park. This year’s theme is “Color Your Own Future”.
In Sikhism, the concept of creating one's future is intricately woven into the fabric of our faith, emphasizing the importance of self-determination and righteous action. Sikhs believe in the principle of "hukam," the divine will or order, which guides our actions and decisions while also empowering individuals to shape their destiny through their deeds. Through diligent work, compassion, and devotion to service, Sikhs strive to craft a future that aligns with the values of equality, justice, and community upliftment, recognizing that our actions today lay the foundation for the world we will inherit tomorrow.
