Hi
@Former-Member @NatureLover @BPDSurvivor @Lilaca @bipolarbunny @Anastasia @Former-Member and others who are following along 🤗

I’m so excited to be hosting our very first 'live' morning tea to celebrate World Refugee Day ( Sunday 20^th June) and Refugee Week ( 20^th June to 26^th June) with you all 👋

I hope through our chat today, we all will understand more about refugees and asylum seekers, and come together to celebrate the different ways in which each and every one of us enriches and contributes to our communities and culture.

Firstly, I would like to invite all to share a cuppa ☕️ 🍵 or snack 🍡 and let us know what brought you to today’s event/what you are looking forward to the most 🎉

I haven't got anything so multicultural to share, just toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches and hot lemon-and-sugar drinks...

Are the Vietnamese steamed rice cakes sweet? As a foodie, I'm interested in trying multicultural foods 🙂

The theme of this year’s World Refugee Day and Refugee Week revolves around Unity and Togetherness to create a stronger and safer world for all.

How do you think each of us can play a part (on the forums and in our offline world) to achieve this together 🤝 ?

For me:

As a supporter and someone from a migrant background myself, I think it's important that we amplify and listen to each other voices and experiences. Therefore, I would like to share these stories, which has been written by refugee and asylum seekers in Australia. For me, these stories were really inspiring as they highlight the strengths, resources, and resilience people have and the fantastic contributions people can and do make to societies despite the tremendous challenges they face.

@NatureLover Yes they are ! I'm a foodie myself as well I attempted to make these rice cakes from scratch a few weeks ago and it was soo good. I think you can buy them at specific Asian or Vietnamese groceries as well
