🌟 MKC Youth Day Out: A Grand Success at Enchanted Adventure!🌟

 


What an incredible day of adventure and fun as our MKC Youth Day Out took place today at the stunning Enchanted Adventure G

arden, with the support of the Victorian Government! 🎉 24 young people from our community came together to conquer the thrilling Grand Tree Surfing, zip-lining, and aerial challenges! 🧗‍♂️✨

We organized two groups—under 17s and over 17s—so that everyone could relate and connect. With over 50 obstacles and 5 challenging levels, it was amazing to see almost everyone conquer all the courses! By the end of it, the zip-lining had everyone exhausted but buzzing with excitement. 🎢💪 Afterward, we relaxed with delicious pizzas, laughter, and new friendships formed along the way. 🍕💬
Our awesome youth leaders, Rhea and Ethan, did a fantastic job planning the day. From arranging pickup points across Melbourne (thanks to Ethan for coordinating that!) to making sure every participant was involved, the event was an absolute success! Even the scattered showers couldn’t dampen our spirits as the sunshine kept everyone energized! ☀️🌧️
Here's what some of our youth had to say:

Ryan: "From seeing new faces to a few familiar ones, I enjoyed meeting everyone. This youth group meet was an overall success where I made some new friends."
Rhea: "I loved the MKC Youth Day Out! It pushed me to overcome my fears while also establishing a group I know I can participate in and people I can communicate with during MKC events!!" 💪
The best part? Nobody wanted to go home! 🙌 Plans for the next MKC Youth event are already in the works, and we can’t wait to see even more young people from our community joining in. 🌱💫
If you missed out, don’t worry! It’s never too late to be a part of the MKC Youth group. Whether you’re new or know no one, our youth leaders Rhea and Ethan will make sure you feel right at home. Let’s make new friends, try new experiences, and continue building a vibrant youth community! ❤️
Stay tuned for more details on our next adventure! 🚀

Our KYC (Know Your Committee) Series starts with our new President Rita Fernandes

I was born and raised in the city of Mumbai, with two brothers—an older and a younger one. Though I grew up in Mumbai, my family roots are in Mangalore. My father hails from the beautiful village of Yekkar, and my mother’s side is from Permude. Mangalore has always felt like home, and some of my most cherished memories are from the school holidays spent visiting my grandparents, extended family and cousins I got married in 2004 and, in 2006, my husband Jerry Fernandes and I moved to Melbourne. We are blessed with two wonderful daughters, Shania and Kiara. When it comes to hobbies, I love traveling—especially to places with mountains or scenic views. I enjoy watching comedies and, most importantly, spending quality time with my family, often playing board games together. What’s your favorite Mangalorean dish? Without a doubt, Panpole and Dukra Maas are my absolute favorites! What inspired you to join the committee? I joined the MKC committee to instill in my daughters the importance ...
