What an unforgettable night of culture, healing, and unity.
These photos capture more than a celebration. They capture the strength, pride, and spirit of our Pasefika people rising together.
A heartfelt thank you to our guest speakers Lolopo Fipe Preuss and Rev. Mareko Mareko for grounding the evening with wisdom, faith, and encouragement.
Deep appreciation to our community leaders, Brimbank Councillors, Dr Matt Bray, Dr Marion Muliaumaseali‘i (Village Response Collective), and Julia Elisara; for your continued support and advocacy for Pasefika wellbeing across Brimbank.
To our incredible performers: VASSI, Nesian Heimana, Halo Pasifika, EFKS Highlands, Rosa o Salafai, and Bula Meke. Your voices, movement, and cultural pride carried the heart of the night. You reminded us that our stories, songs, and dances are powerful pathways to healing.
A special shout out to the dedicated volunteers and teams from Brimbank Pasefika and EFKS Brimbank. Your service, heart, and commitment made this event possible you are the backbone of our community.
And with gratitude to EFKS Brimbank and the Victorian Government for providing us the opportunity to serve and uplift our Pasefika communities through this project.
Your support ensures our culture, identity, and wellbeing continue to thrive.
Our culture heals. Our unity strengthens. Our stories continue.
