NSY NZ at New Zealand’s first Sikh Games
Nanaksar Sikh Youth is a non-profit organisation that
aims to appreciate and encourage each individual's
uniqueness and build positive, long-lasting relationships.
They make positive contributions to the community and the
society around them while strengthening cultural values.
This youth group brings together individuals so that they
can develop leadership skills and help give a voice to
issues that concern our community and become a part of their
solution. Nanaksar Sikh Youth NZ is not all just about work
for the Sikh community but is also about helping everyone.
They raise funds for organisations such as ‘Cancer
Society’ and actively take part in events, for instance,
Relay for Life and Round the Bays to promote healthy living
and its importance in our generation.
On the 30th of
November and the 1st of December, Nanaksar Sikh Youth NZ put
their tremendous effort upon achieving a successful
promotion of their youth group at the first New Zealand Sikh
Games at Pulman Park, Takanini. Members of the youth
interacted and had amazing conversations with people
attending the Sikh games, gathering their input and ideas
about how they can all make a difference in the
community.
The head organiser of this group stated
“This youth group is growing to bring the Sikh youth
together by applying our moral values into practice. By
implementing these moral values such as honesty, courage,
kindness into our lives, and actually physically getting out
there to help those in need. We are promoting hard work,
spirituality and community service so that we can create a
better environment for ourselves and others”.
Nanaksar Sikh Youth is becoming a flourishing group of unique individuals who have come a long way in a short period of time. This youth group will also be collecting food and toiletries for those in need. If you would like to donate, please do not hesitate to contact them via social media to make a contribution.
