The traditional young Men’s and Young Women’s’ day celebration will be taking place in Hopedale tomorrow Saturday, January 28, 2023.
We spoke with Augusta Tuglavina who is the volunteer for this year’s festival.
She says they are currently looking for any donations for the Young Men and Women’s Day; which will be held at the Nanuk Centre at 9am.
Tuglavina says this was a very short notice to plan and prepare, but she do know how much this special day means for the young generation in her community.
They will have their breakfast between starting at 9am, and the first church service will be held at 10am, dinner will be served at 12 noon, they will walk to the church for the 3pm service, and supper at 5pm.
She adds that they will have games and activities planned for this day such as sporting games, cards, board games, and watch movies.
They will also have a best dressed traditional clothing contest with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for male and female prizes.
So, if anyone would like to send a small money donation to help ease the cost for their young men and women’s day, you can email money transfer Augusta by email at augustatuglavina@hotmail.com.
