Today is World Refugee Day. . We think every day

Today is World Refugee Day.
.
We think every day should recognise and honour those in our communities who have arrived to these shores with big dreams and hope-filled futures.
.
This year FHP has been sharing in the delight of a new season. As we head back out on the hiking trials 🥾 we want to honour our friends who continue to teach us about true connection.
.
May the essence of this day be a part of your every day experience here in these lands now called Australia.
.
Let’s keep making welcome simple.

Last weekend we had the opportunity to do one more

Last weekend we had the opportunity to do one more hike, this time at the Dandenong ranges in Victoria. ⛰️

This was a very special hike in partnership with @parksvic where we had the opportunity to learn about the native species at the Education Centre where there was a remarkable collection of animals including all the Australian native species. 🐨🦘🦇🦉

This time we had a group of families and their kids who stayed at the Centre learning about the local environment with our fantastic host Julia and enjoying different activities such as bird watching. 🐦🦜

Meanwhile, the rest of the group embarked on an adventure to hike Mt Dandenong. The day was cold at first but the group quickly warmed up as we went to a steep start. Midway through our journey, we stopped at a picnic ground where we had some tasty wraps prepared by some of our fantastic volunteers. The wraps were so tasty that even the cheeky kookaburras were trying to steal them out...from our hands! 🌯😲😅

We love our volunteers 😍 . They do so much work

We love our volunteers 😍
.
They do so much work getting our events up and running, taking newly arrived youth from refugee backgrounds out on adventures and bringing them back safely and raising the funds to do it all. A more dedicated and loving bunch of humans you will struggle to find... thank you, thank you, thank you!
.
Have a great end of year break and see ya all in the new year for more FHP adventures.

From humble beginnings, First Hike Project has gro

From humble beginnings, First Hike Project has grown to a nationwide organisation thanks to the dedication, commitment and hard work of our state-based coordinators aka: volunteer managers!

To give you an idea of some of the variety of tasks they smash out, they busy themselves with:
- hike planning,
- holding volunteer meetings,
- hike prep,
- vehicle and hiker logistics,
- fundraising,
- communications,
- gear maintenance,
- volunteer training,
- social media posts,
- school visits, and
- general wizardry to keep everything going!

Today is your official day, but we are all this grateful for your efforts the other 364 days of the year too!
