The Junior Youth group of Wishart serve their local community at successful fundraising event.

JY Stars, an enthusiastic group of Junior Youth from Wishart and Redlands, held a JY Fundraising 'cafe' over the school holiday weekend to raise awareness and funds for important charity, Lifeline. 

The event "Spirituality, Health and Healing - A panel discussion" was held on the 3rd May at the Cleveland Lions Club hall, Short Street North in Cleveland.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to hear the stories and thoughts of our 4 panelists where the community was encouraged to engage in a question and answer session at the end of the presentation.

Our panelists included

The idea of an art workshop came naturally when our local community were looking for a community engagement activity to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the dawn of the Baha’i Faith.

Local Russel Island artist Sharon Jewell was asked for help to develop an idea for how members of the community of all ages might come together in an afternoon of sharing art.  As storytelling is also an art, storyteller Izzat Rameshni was asked to share a 10 minute story from the life of the Bab, the first teacher of the Baha’i Faith in Iran, who was born 200 years ago.
