Sydney Update

On Saturday the 12th of April the Darfuri Australia Network in partnership with Relationships Australia and Josephite Community Aid organised a BBQ with the Darfur community in Sydney at Orana Park, Blacktown. The day was a huge success and lots of fun with over 210 people coming. We had a BBQ lunch, face painting, sport, tug of war, games, prizes and much more. We will have to do it again soon!
