Family and Community Enhancement.
There is a desperate need in the families of our children and within the communities they live to help create
recreational activities such as:
- Cultural Dance Events
- Choir and Cultural Songs
- Community Games Nights
- Family Games Nights
- Children’s Clubs
- Youth Clubs
- Senior Clubs
- Seminar Talks
- Movie shows
- Pot Luck Dinners
The aim is to strengthen the community spirit and feeling of well being by providing positive and constructive activities
for the community to do in their leisure time.
