This Saturday, the Western Bulldogs will come together with #AfricanGangs campaigners to celebrate the Ujamaa Community Festival at Victoria University Whitten Oval.

“Ujamaa”; which means brotherhood in Swahili, will be led by the Foundation and will encourage the broader VFL community to engage in South Sudanese Culture.

The Ujamaa festival stems from the Club’s African Action Plan and soon to be developed African youth mentoring program, which were announced earlier this month after a funding boost from the State Government.

Activities at the Ujamaa Festival will include African food stalls, live music, African drumming, face painting, henna, popcorn, sausage sizzle and dance performances.

The festival will begin from 10am on Saturday 4th August, before the Footscray v Frankston VFL match kicks off from 2pm.

A gold coin donation will grant entry to the Whitten Oval precinct to experience the Ujamaa Festival, Bulldogs Shop Mega Sale and Footscray VFL match.
