MDSI Women's Group
Bangladeshi Women`s group is a community group run by the CALD Women`s Worker of Macarthur Diversity Services and funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship`s Women`s Project. The purpose of this project is to increase Women`s community awareness, and enhance social support networks so that they can actively participate in community development activities and access the mainstream services.
Since the group established, the women meet every fortnight at Minto and participate in a number of information sessions, workshops on health, naturopathy, Yoga, money management and so on. The group was also involved with community programs like Campbelltown City Council`s Riverfest, Harmony Day Celebration, Women`s Day and promoted their culture and tradition appropriately in the mainstream community.
To celebrate the end of the year, the group went on a river cruise along the Georges River at Liverpool with other groups from MDSI on 3rd December. It was a great day for the women with a lot of laughter, chatting, sharing and enjoying the company of other women from diverse backgrounds, music and food of course!
Share their enjoyment and happiness when you look at the snapshots!
PS: The group will meet again regularly from the first week of February 2009 and will have a lot of interesting activities to go on! If you are a Bangladeshi woman and living in the Campbelltown LGA you are more than welcome to join the group!
