    Youth Sports Carnival

    It has been voted by many Druze families as one of the most successful and enjoyable outings for 2005. The Youth Sports Carnival, which took place on Sunday 19th June at Campbell Hill Pioneer Reserve, was an outstanding event organised and coordinated by the Youth Druze Committee which had catered for the entire family.

    The carnival which commenced at the break of dawn and, lasted through out the entire day, attracted a turnout of more than 200 Druze brothers and sisters, who all actively participated in the day’s activities. These activities included team sports of soccer, football and volleyball for both adults and children, the three-legged races which were a particular favourite of the women of our community, and the infamous tug of war that inspired the entire gathering to battle it out… while the kiddies were kept entertained on the jumping castle, giving their parents time to enjoy the carnival. Individuals of the victorious teams were rewarded with a black shoulder bag courtesy of ResMed and Kamal Badreddine.

    The Carnival raffle included prizes of jewellery (a watch from Nader Jewellers), binoculars (courtesy of CR Kennedy and M. Sarrayeldine), shoulder bags (courtesy of ResMed), Hairdressing vouchers (courtesy of Bassil Mahmoud), and a contemporary collection of CDs and DVDs. The auction of Lebanese sweets sold at an astounding $50, which saw Ramzi and Nesrine Esrawi as the winning bidders. There generosity further extended when the tray of sweets was offered for the community to enjoy.

    A big thank you is given to the Women’s Druze Committee who generously offered their time and effort in preparing the food to help bring about this wonderful event. On behalf of the entire Australian Druze Community and in alphabetical order, we would like to give individual recognition to these women: Samar Abdel Baki, Shadia Assaf, Hiam Elbasha, Claudia Elbrihi, Samira Ghebar, Soha Ghabbar, I3tidal Mahmoud, Siham Mahmoud, Diana Munzer, Christina Sweid and Rajaa Younes.

    The youth sports carnival was the first event for 2005 organised and coordinated by the Youth Druze Committee working in conjunction with the Women’s Druze Committee. A day that promised fun and entertainment for all, managed to deliver much, much more. Its success is a true reflection of the strength of the current Australian Druze Community organisation and its committees. The unwavering support of the wider Druze community will make this carnival the first of the many more successful events to come.

  • Manhattan Super Bowl

    What a night! The first of many events coordinated by the Druze Youth Committee catering for the legally mature Druze of our community. The bowling night, held at Manhattan Super Bowl in Mascot on Saturday 2nd July, saw a solid turn out of young Druze brothers and sisters between the ages of 18 and 35. The evening concluded with an informal dinner at an Italian restaurant.

    A Huge Congratulations to William Hamsey who scored the highest points of 135, Saed Mahmoud coming in second place on 134 points and Ziad Esrawi in third place scoring a very comfortable 115 points.

    Even under the bowling disco lights, it was evident to see the positive interaction between the Druze Youth of our generation, particularly the fresh new faces that came along and took part in this event. What a triumph it was to see active participation by our younger generation, and their refreshing views for a stronger, united community.

    Above all, thank you to all those who attended the Youth Bowling Night. Your attendance demonstrates your support of the Youth Committee and your presence has clearly showed just how much fun, we, as the Druze Youth of New South Wales can have. If you missed out on attending, please contact us and let us know why. We’d love to see you at our events: youth@druze.org.au / 0405031988
