at Cultural Night START A CAREER IN NURSING

Cultural Night is a premier community charity event, held annually since 1994. The event is produced by the combined effort of representatives from five major universities in Sydney which include The University of Sydney, University of Technology, University of New South Wales, Macquarie University and University of Western Sydney. With an increasing audience every year, Cultural Night now is of enormous significance amongst Sydney’s student community, and is renowned for being the most anticipated event in the calendar of all universities each year.

Cultural Night 2009 was held recently in the Hills Centre at Castle Hill, and showcased an extraordinary offering of talent in the form of over 200 performers in 18 various acts on the night ranging from hip-hop, Bollywood, bhangra dancing to live bands on stage and spectacular fashion parades. A magnificent dance spectacular presented by UNSW Vishwaas, a live and rocking performance by Element V and the long awaited and exclusive Michael Jackson Tribute performed by the most skilled dancers in Sydney, deserves a special mention. The audience of over 1600 enjoyed every moment of the spectacular event, which exceeded all expectations. The event was testimony of the Indian community’s efforts to encourage youth to explore its culture and tradition, within their local communities. All profits from Cultural Night are equally shared between the I-India Project and the Bangladesh Australia Relief

Committee. The I-India Project is a branch of the I-India organisation which aims to keep homeless and impoverished children off the streets and offers education, training and moral support, and employment assistance. The Bangladesh Australia Relief Committee is a charity established in 1998 with the aim of aiding those who were affected by the effects of cyclones and floods. This committee is dedicated to building a permanent cyclone shelter which will aim to protect against the devastating effects of natural disasters. The permanent cyclone shelter project has currently begun its initial phase by seeking approval and obtaining finance to fund the project, and funds raised from the Cultural Night 2009 will go a long way to help the project and speed up its progress.

As a charity event, sponsors are crucial to its success, so special thanks are due to major sponsors: www.kamilkhan. com.au, Le Montage, Indus Age and Hungama.com.au for their support. The organising committee and its members, Anchal Saxena, Ruchi Bhatt, Sureena Singh, Raj Saxena, Mita Anand, Pritam Rakshit, Aarushi Sharma, Mili Kapur and Mallika Sandhu, along with volunteers put in time and effort over the past six months to make this event a success. The organisers also appreciate feedback from the audience which was positive and encouraging.
