Trivia Fundraiser (SYDNEY) for Refugees

Join us for another night of frivolity, FOR A GOOD CAUSE.  The trivia will be hosted by the one and only Jennifer Wong, queen of puns, writer & TV  host. There'll also be delicious buffet by Malaysian street food superstars, Sangee's Kitchen. Buffet will be served after sunset/Iftar, to accommodate those observing Ramadan. Sangee's Kitchen will be serving up a vegetarian eggplant curry with fragrant rice and a gluten-free chicken curry with rice as well.

Welcome Merchant is a social enterprise that provides a free online directory and skill-building workshops to merchants and artists in Australia who also identify as a refugee and/or as a person seeking asylum. This money will help us continue providing the work we do for free. We're also donating a portion of the ticket sales to Women's and Girls Emergency Centre (WAGEC), a shelter that provides emergency accommodation to those on temporary visas as well. 

There'll also be a Raffle Draw with amazing prizes up for grabs - a Goods 4 Good hamper, restaurant vouchers from Takam, Flyover Fritterie, Where's Nick Wine Bar, Ho Jiak, Famelia Wine, a ceramic piece from Kasama, a box of Salaam Cola, a copy of Sunday Kitchen's SOFRA Cookbook, a copy of Sarah Glover's Wild Adventure Book and more to come! Raffle sales will be donated to WAGEC too.

There will also be a special performance by Olive Diaz and her father before trivia begins & during the break! Father and daughter duo, Olive and Justo Díaz, bring together a collection of music from across Latin America spanning from Argentinian folklore and tango to Mexican boleros and Brazilian bossa nova.
