World Refugee Day, Malak, Darwin

To raise the awareness of refugee-related issues, World Refugee Day events are held worldwide on 20 June each year.Darwin's World Refugee Day event was held at
Holzerland Park, Malak. Jeanette called in the afternoon to see if I was interested in going. I joined her in going although she was quickly asked to help with face painting the big queue of children.









It was a really great afternoon and evening with great dancing, food and colour and some sobering refugee films. It was organised by the local Melaleuca Refugee Centre and other organisations such as the Multicultural Council of the Northern Territory

There was a Citizenship ceremony as well,Jeanette chatted to this gentleman,
