25.01.2022 Harmony Day in Cooma! What a great event supported by our headspace Youth Reference Group. Andrea (pictured left) and her mother made a DELICIOUS Indian butter chicken, and Joshua (right) and his mother made an amazing African fried rice. We also had members Lucy who made an Italian Foccaccia and Alexi who made Italian Crostoli. We sold out of most of their dishes, giving them a nice little bit of money to use towards future projects. They were amazing in all of their planning and execution of the day. Well done to all!
