One Love Charity supported by Volunteering Services (BOP)
This is going to be our 5th year of celebrating the TGA Diwali Festival with our community and we expect 4000 people to come to the Historic Village. We ask for a gold coin (donation) at the entry gate - there will be free diya painting and Rangoli art to join in, as well as many fantastic ethnic craft stalls and delicious vegetarian Indian Street food on site.
We need beautiful people like you to help:
-
set-up and pack down the TGA Diwali Festival site (stage, sound system, tents, site theming).....this work starts at 1 pm on the day before (Saturday 23 November) until 6 pm, and continues on Sunday from 9 am until 1 pm on the event day, 24 November.
-
sell fancy Indian outfits as a fundraiser from 2 - 9 pm......this job deals with cash, and a happy you who will let these vibrant clothes fly out to our children and families who want to dress up for the occasion.
-
manage the Diya painting area and the Rangoli art area from 2 - 9 pm.....you can help us create some fun, simple patterns with chalk and colourful rice flour on the ground for children to get immersed in Rangoli, or paint with chalk pens on small traditional diya lamps to light later or take home. This job requires people who like to work with children. Please note that parents will be with their children at all times, you are not asked to be a babysitter.
