August 2025 Program Highlights

What an incredible month August has been for our MIFANT community! From artistic breakthroughs to meaningful discoveries and gatherings, our participants have truly embraced the spirit of connection and personal growth.

A Touch of History

One of our most moving moments came during a visit to the Museum and Art Gallery of the NT. Karen, one of our participants, experienced a profound connection to Darwin's history when she discovered her own name on the Cyclone Tracy Evacuee List from when she was just 6 years old. This powerful moment highlighted both Darwin's resilience and the personal journeys that have shaped our community members' lives.

Creative Expression Through Art

Our Tuesday Art Workshop with Kerry Sandhu continues to flourish as a space for creative healing. This month, participants created vibrant hummingbird artwork carrying the inspiring message: "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." These sessions perfectly embody our belief that creativity becomes healing.

The Magic of Simple Connections

Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen around a Monopoly board! Our community gatherings have shown us that authentic friendships naturally blossom during simple, joyful activities. These shared experiences create lasting bonds and remind us that at MIFANT, everyone's welcome, everyone belongs, and everyone leaves with a smile.

MiTrack Program Tennant Creek

Our Tennant Creek young participants showcased incredible artistic talent through personalised mask-making sessions, while enjoying valuable mentoring sessions and relaxing movie afternoons. The perfect blend of learning, growth, and fun for our community

Making a Difference Together

August was packed with diverse activities across our MiPlace Hub, Cool Program adventures, and special monthly events including our Cancer Council speaker session and Wear It Purple Day celebration.

Thank you to all our participants and community members who made August such a special month. Here's to many more moments of creativity, connection, and community!
