It's a very special day in the annals of South Australian history. In fact,
it's a day like no other, as the African migrants and refugees celebrated
Africa Day for the second year running.
The civic reception was at the Adelaide Town Hall.
The Lord Mayor of Adelaide, the Right Honourable Michael Harbison spoke
eloquently about the fruits of multiculturalism and the African contribution
to Australian society, to the absolute delight of the invited guests.
The event was proudly supported by the Adelaide City Council and the African
Chamber of Commerce SA Inc (AFRICOMSA).

Hi Lawrence,
Love your writing! I wanted to contact you in regards to an event Amnesty International SA/NT is planning for Refugee Week this June (Friday the 22nd). We are looking for a speaker who can communicate to a small audience (20-30 ppl) the impact of temporary protection on refugee families. We are open to various forms of speech such as storytelling, poetry reading, etc. If this is something you or someone you know might be interested in, please contact me ASAP on (08) 8110 8100 x111 or aiarefugeegroup@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you,

You haven't posted on your blog for awhile and then you are full of news. Great. Hooray for the second annual Africa Day in South Australia. We the people of the world join together to show we are all one family, part of the universe and here temporarily.
We have a day off work today which is very welcome right now. I hope you are doing well.
Thank you for your comments, Kelly. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Cheers!
That's very sweet of you, Technobabe. How are you today?
I must admit it has been a long time but I'm alive and well in the land Down Under.:)
