🧳 🇮🇹 Il Viaggio 🇮🇹 🧳

It was a pleasure to be involved in ‘il viaggio’ with @nazareth.catholic.college and @radio_italiana_531 as part of the @adelaideitalianfestival

It was a true celebration of Italian culture, migration stories, food and music. It was wonderful to hear the personal migration stories from guest speakers and see the work presented by the year 9 & 10 students of their grandparents migration and journey to Australia.

A huge thank you to Grace Gava and the team at Nazareth Catholic Community for making the event a success.

Last night Co.As.It (SA) staff visited the Casa D'Abruzzo Molise Club to see the ladies Bocce social program who get together every Friday night. The competition was fierce and pizza’s were delicious. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who always do an amazing job 👏🏼

It was great to spend the afternoon at the Campania club with the Tombola members and meeting with the lovely ladies from Carers SA. Always a pleasure to collaborate and work together for our community.

#ruok #ruokday

Thursday 9 September 2021 is R U OK? Day.

Do you know how the people in your world are really going? Life’s ups and downs happen to all of us. So chances are someone you know might be struggling. By starting a conversation, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up.

When we genuinely ask, “are you OK?” and are prepared to talk to them about how they’re feeling, we can help someone who might be struggling feel connected and supported, long before they’re in crisis.

Follow this link www.ruok.org.au/other-languages to find resources in eight languages: Arabic, Chinese (both new and traditional), Greek, Hindi, Italian, Punjabi, Spanish and Vietnamese.

Stay connected and make asking R U Ok? a part of your everyday. Ask them today. A conversation could change a life.

Tune in now to @radio_italiana_531 to listen to President Tina Taddeo talking all things Co.As.It (SA) 🎤

Today we welcomed our Co.As.It (SA) volunteers for morning tea to view our new office space. It was a joint celebration with @radio_italiana_531 who were celebrating the 50th birthday of President Mario Romaldi and Emma Luxardo. It was great to see the Italian community coming together and I know our volunteers loved meeting some of the ‘faces’ behind their favourite radio programs.

This week marks a very special time of year for our organisation and the wider community, as we celebrate National Volunteer Week!
The theme for National Volunteer Week 2021 is
Recognise. Reconnect. Reimagine.
🌟RECOGNISE, celebrate and thank volunteers for the vital role they play in our lives.
🌟RECONNECT to what is important by giving our time to help others and ourselves.
🌟REIMAGINE how we better support volunteers and communities they help.
We would like to express our gratitude to all volunteers. This includes our own Co.As.It. (SA) volunteers, those assisting across the wider Italian community and all other volunteers nationally for the assistance they provide.
We understand as well as anyone, that without the constant support and hard work undertaken by all volunteers, we would not be able to achieve so much across all of our communities.
From the bottom of our hearts and particularly through these recent times, we want all volunteers to feel valued for the work that they do and to understand that they are greatly appreciated. A huge thank you to you all.
Once again, from us to you, Happy National Volunteer Week!
