Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2022 - Community

After a busy morning letterbox dropping, I’m spending time with the local Gold Coast Indian Community for the Haryanvi Utsav 2022! So much energy in one room!

Thank you Indian Community Of Gold Coast for their kind invitation to celebrate the Diwali Festival with them. Outstanding evening! Hopefully next year’s Diwali Festival will be bigger than ever. Diwali Festival has a wonderful meaning Light over Darkness, Good over Evil and Knowledge over Ignorance.

Ben Findlay and his team of helpers finishing off a rather large job helping a family in need. Big thank you to Aaron, Nikki, Naomi and Ezra for all their efforts today with the big clean up.

The innovative team at Studio Village Community have started a new inter-generation program to support senior members to connect with community and help children foster skills such as patience, concentration, empathy, respect and acceptance. This is a 6 week program starting 10th October 2022 For more information contact the centre 5529 8253.
