Uganda the Pearl of Africa Victoria Association

Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:08): It was also a real pleasure to join the Uganda the Pearl of Africa Victoria Association again for another evening filled with music, culture and wisdom. And I say the Ugandan community have the best sense of humour of any group; I have more laughs at that event than any other I go to. They are a fantastic group. These are real celebrations where they get to share their culture with their community. They are an incredibly inclusive group with genuine love for Australia, but they also make sure that all other African Australian groups come along and share as well, and they are tremendously welcoming. Thank you to the organisation and the Ugandan High Commissioner, who attended. I really look forward to the next event.
