Majak's groupies
Multicultural community ambassadors were recognised at this function held just before the TAC Cup finals at Etihad. This is the inaugural year of the AFL's multicultural community ambassador program and a bit of an experiment in how a program like this might run. It looks like it will continue, which is great news. On a personal level, Maryum and I were attached (through the program) to the North Melbourne Football Club and its values really align with ours (investing in the community, using sport as a vehicle for harmony, recognising education as a key factor in poverty reduction) so we're very keen to continue working with them next year, especially around getting more Muslim women and girls involved in sport.
