4cs Community Development Worker Kate Mclean said entries included poems, photos and videos. “There was such a great range of activities that families got up to in Covid-19,” she said.
“While there were many favourites, a stand-out was a cooking series created by a young woman demonstrating how to cook Pakoras and Kashmiri tea.
“The storybook was shared widely from our facebook page, with lots of positive feedback.”
As Zain Ull Abideen said on facebook: “This was an incredibly uplifting opportunity to join with others to enjoy the creativity of kids and their families.”
4cs CEO Esta Paschalidis-Chilas said the Digital Storyboard project affirmed the strength, optimism and resilience of families in the community.
“Our role at the 4cs involves supporting family and community development and this project was an innovative way of doing that during the lockdown,” she said.
“We could not have delivered this project without the funding and assistance of John Holland and the Western Sydney Community Forum and we thank them very much for coming to us with this opportunity.”
