Harmony Week is upon as and 96five is celebrating our cultural diversity and Australian multiculturalism.
We have also partnered with Multicultural Australia to help young athletes get onto the field and participating in sports with their Connecting Through Sport program. You can make a donation of equipment to 96five’s Sporting Goods Drive, or donate directly to Multicultural Australia’s sports fund.
As part of this focus on sport and diversity, 96five spoke to Zimra Hussein and her mother Sakina. They came to Australia as refugees, fleeing Taliban persecution of the Hazara people in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Since arriving in Queensland they have found a genuine welcome, and widespread support through their involvement with AFL football clubs.
