 Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (10:39): Recently I had the pleasure of attending the African festival hosted by the Kaleidoscope program at the Point Cook pop-up park. This festival has provided an occasion to celebrate the cultural diversity within African communities in Point Cook and beyond. It was a great day of live performances, including One Spirit Africa, Afro Movement Academy and many more. Everyone got on the drums for a little bit, including me. I will not be giving up my day job. The festival played host to market food stalls, community workshops, face painting, henna, a library of African literature and more. It was a wonderful day. Well done to all involved.
