The Afghan Women’s Organisation of Victoria (AWOV) have set up a volleyball team for junior girls from local Afghan families to join a local competition. The team was due to start their games in Dandenong in May and they needed sports tops with their name and number on them.

SI Melba members felt it was important for the girls to be able to participate wearing similar sports gear to the other teams so a decision was endorsed by all members to cover the cost of the tops for the team and coaches. SI Melba presented them with their sports tops and watched them play, building on friendships, community and teamwork.
