The VHP Australia Children’s Camp has once again concluded successfully, providing all participants with an enriching and joyous experience. This year’s camp was marked by various activities designed to foster learning, community spirit, and cultural appreciation.
The camp, which has been a staple event since its inception in 1996, was attended by numerous children who engaged in activities that emphasised teamwork, cultural education, and personal development.
From yoga sessions to educational workshops, the camp offered a holistic environment for children to immerse themselves in Hindu dharma and general life skills.
A highlight of the event was the presence of Phillip Ruddock, Mayor of Hornsby Shire Council, who joined to celebrate the occasion. Mayor Ruddock acknowledged Chandra Kant Kulkarni of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh for his long-standing service to the community.
Mr Kulkarni, the visionary behind the camp, has been instrumental in its success and continues to inspire with his dedication and leadership.
The camp was made possible by the tireless efforts of volunteers from Hindu Youth Australia (HYA), SEWA Australia, and Vishwa Hindu Parishad Australia. Their dedication ensured the smooth running of all activities and the safety and enjoyment of all participants. Special thanks were extended to these volunteers for their unwavering support and commitment.
In his remarks, Mayor Ruddock highlighted the importance of such events in fostering community cohesion and cultural understanding. He praised the camp for its role in promoting unity and multiculturalism in Australia, aligning with the broader objectives of VHP Australia to promote social cohesion and inclusiveness.
The camp’s theme this year was “All for one, one for all,” which encouraged participants to work together and support each other, mirroring the values of unity and collective success. Children made new friends, learned valuable life skills, and created lasting memories through various engaging and fun activities.
Looking ahead, VHP Australia is committed to continuing this tradition of growth and learning. The organisation’s vision of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – the world is one family – remains at the heart of its initiatives, striving to build a harmonious and inclusive community for all.
