Healthy eating, healthier choices! 🥗

What does a healthier Bangladeshi meal look like?

Our community found out at a fun and informative session on reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes, held on 28 October at The Kogarah Storehouse. Delivered by South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD), the session explored why South Asian communities are at greater risk of Type 2 diabetes and how small changes to everyday food choices can make a big difference.

Participants learnt how to balance their meals, manage portion sizes, prepare rice in healthier ways and give traditional dishes a healthy makeover without losing their flavour! A practical food demonstration using a Bangladeshi lunch menu brought the tips to life, showing just the right balance of rice, vegetables and protein. We also learnt that up to 58% of Type 2 diabetes cases can be prevented through healthy lifestyle changes.

A big thank you to SESLHD and everyone who joined us. Here's to enjoying the food we love while making healthier choices! ❤️

Conversation, coffees and companionship! ☕😊

We had another wonderful session this week, giving our English students the opportunity to practise and build their conversational skills with a local buddy from the Georges River area.

It was a fantastic session filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and learning along the way!

A wonderful way to bring people together and learn from each other.

Our Bangla community took a step towards work-ready digital skills this week.🤖

With ADS guidance, participants explored how to use AI assistants safely and well - from a simple four-part prompt recipe to practising job interviews by voice. Plus, the essentials of job searching in Australia: a professional email, strong passwords, job searching platforms, why LinkedIn still matters and how to use it.

Everyone left with a Participant’s Workbook to keep practising at home. Thank you to Tasnim and everyone who came, and see you at the next session!
