Individuals groups and communities accross Queensland have been busy helping weave one million stars by July 2017, which will be used in an installation of woven stars at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. The project aims to raise awareness and bring about an end to all forms of violence and to help demonstrate a more peaceful society, “one star at a time”. The Empowering Mama’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s group, which meets every Tuesday at the Upper Ross Community Centre, has been very busy making stars for the One Million Stars to End Violence Project. It has been great to see women of all ages come together and have a yarn whilst making the stars. The group welcomed and encouraged participation of youth from Townsville Youth Justice, who have really enjoyed making the stars. www.facebook.com/upper.centre Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with what’s happening at the Upper Ross Community Centre
