MESSAGE FROM THE VMC COMMISSIONER
I am pleased to recommend the Sa'daat Foundation as an active and committed local organisation representing the Muslim community in central Victoria and based in the Goulburn Valley.
In the short period since it was established by its current Secretary Imran Syed, the Sa'daat Foundation has run a series of events with the objective of promoting community harmony and understanding.
I have been pleased to participate in several of these events, in my capacity as a multi-cultural Commissioner and as a representative of the primary care sector in this Region.
In addition to addressing many of the welfare and settlement needs of this emerging local community itself the Sa'daat Foundation has provided invaluable advice, introductions and assistance to established agencies within the region.
Already the Sa'daat Foundation has an impressive record of supporting a variety of activities in central Victoria. These include:
- Multicultural Islamic 'Eid Festival - Aug 19th 2012 - Kialla Community Hall
- Multicultural Islamic 'Eid Festival - Oct 28th 2012 - Shepparton Showgrounds
- Annual Islamic Community Barbeque - Dec 25th 2012 - Kidstown Mooroopna
- Summer Day Camp for Young Muslims - Jan 7th to 11th 2013 - GV Turkish Mosque
- Multicultural Islamic Food Festival - Jan 19th 2013 - McIntosh Centre
- Multicultural Grand Mawlid 'Mercy to Mankind' Conference - Feb 17th 2013 - Eastbank Centre
I look forward to working closely with Imran and the Sa'daat Foundation over the coming years and supporting its activities.
