During the COVID-19 pandemic, many children and families experienced significant changes to their daily lives. School disruptions, social isolation, and public health restrictions created new challenges that affected the wellbeing, learning, and emotional health of many young people.

To help support families during this difficult period, Somali Community Inc. (SCI) proudly distributed Wellbeing Packs to children across our community. These packs were designed to provide fun, educational, and creative activities that encouraged children to stay active, engaged, and connected while spending more time at home.

Each wellbeing pack included a variety of age-appropriate resources to inspire creativity, learning, and positive wellbeing. By providing meaningful activities, we aimed to help reduce boredom, encourage family interaction, and support children's mental and emotional wellbeing during an uncertain time.

This initiative was more than simply providing activity packs—it was about reminding families that they were not alone. It reflected our commitment to supporting children and parents, promoting resilience, and helping our community stay connected despite the challenges.

We extend our sincere thanks to our volunteers, partners, and supporters who helped prepare and distribute the wellbeing packs. Your generosity and dedication made a positive difference to many families across our community.

At Somali Community Inc., we remain committed to supporting the health, wellbeing, and future of children and families through programs, activities, and community initiatives that strengthen and empower our community.

Xirmooyinka Daryeelka iyo Fayo-qabka Carruurta

Intii lagu jiray cudurka COVID-19, carruur badan iyo qoysaskooduba waxay la kulmeen caqabado waaweyn oo saameeyay nolol maalmeedkooda. Xiritaanka dugsiyada, xannibaadaha bulshada, iyo kala fogaanshaha dadka ayaa saameyn ku yeeshay waxbarashada, caafimaadka maskaxda, iyo fayo-qabka carruur badan.

Si loo taageero qoysaska muddadaas adag, Jaaliyadda Soomaaliyeed ee Victoria Australia (SCI) waxay bulshada u qaybisay Xirmooyinka Daryeelka iyo Fayo-qabka (Wellbeing Packs) oo loogu talagalay carruurta. Xirmooyinkan waxay ka koobnaayeen agab waxbarasho, ciyaaro, iyo hawlo hal-abuur leh oo carruurta ku dhiirrigelinayay inay wax bartaan, hal-abuur muujiyaan, isla markaana waqtigooda si wanaagsan uga faa'iidaystaan iyagoo guriga jooga.

Ujeeddada xirmooyinku ma ahayn oo keliya inay carruurta mashquuliyaan, balse sidoo kale waxay ahayd in la taageero caafimaadkooda maskaxeed iyo dareenkooda, lana dhiirrigeliyo wada shaqaynta iyo waqtiga ay qoysasku isla qaataan.

Mashruucani wuxuu muujiyay sida ay muhiim u tahay is-garab istaagga bulshada xilliyada adag. Waxa uu xasuusin u ahaa qoysaska in aanay kaligood ahayn, isla markaana bulshada Soomaaliyeed ay garab taagan tahay.

Waxaan si weyn ugu mahadcelinaynaa dhammaan mutadawiciintii, hay'adihii iskaashiga nala lahaa, iyo taageerayaashii ka qayb qaatay diyaarinta iyo qaybinta xirmooyinkan.

Jaaliyadda Soomaaliyeed ee Victoria Australia waxay sii wadi doontaa inay horumariso barnaamijyo iyo adeegyo taageeraya caafimaadka, waxbarashada, iyo fayo-qabka carruurta iyo qoysaska si loo dhiso bulsho caafimaad qabta oo mustaqbal ifaya leh.
