SCAV Community Event
A Day of Fun, Food, and Togetherness
On Sunday, December 29, 2024, the Sudanese Community Association of Victoria (SCAV) hosted a fantastic family fun day at Altona Beach Park.
The Malak Foundation had the pleasure of attending this wonderful event, which brought the community together for an afternoon filled with joy, games, and delicious food.
The event was a much-needed opportunity for community members to relax and reconnect. With the beautiful backdrop of Altona Beach, families gathered from 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM, enjoying the fresh air, green spaces, and a vibrant social atmosphere.
Highlights of the Day
The program featured a variety of activities, including fun games and competitions for children that kept them entertained and engaged. The laughter and cheers of the kids filled the park, creating a lively and cheerful environment.
A major highlight of the event was the BBQ, complemented by a selection of home-cooked traditional Sudanese dishes. Attendees shared meals, exchanged recipes, and celebrated their cultural heritage through food. The aromas of grilled delicacies and spices added to the festive spirit of the day.
Building Community Bonds
Beyond the fun and food, the event served as a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity within the Sudanese community. It provided a rest bit from the worries that many hold for loved ones in Sudan and elsewhere who continue to be impacted by the ongoing war.
In moments like these, the importance of maintaining strong community ties and support networks cannot be overstated. The SCAV event demonstrated the strength and solidarity of the Sudanese diaspora in Victoria, offering a space to share stories, support each other, and celebrate their culture together.
Gratitude and Appreciation
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to SCAV for organizing such a memorable day and for inviting the Malak Foundation to be part of it. Events like these highlight the enduring spirit of community, compassion, and hope that bind us all.
We look forward to future gatherings and opportunities to support each other as we navigate the challenges of life while keeping our cultural traditions alive.
Thank you, SCAV, for a truly remarkable day!
