In 2015, during this time for almost 7 months A group of us would visit and minister every month, a Prison ministry for 28 Tamil refugees in detention-some of them for almost 6 years was undertaken with food and trauma healing This was at the Broadmeadows detention Centre.

Another significant matter was the establishing the Jesuran Church and English classes for about 300 Refugees and Asylum seekers. We had to engage council buses to transport them.

In November 2017 the direction of the Jesuran Welfare Services still trading as Jesuran Wellness Centre changed. We formed a partnership with AMES (AMES stands for Adult Multicultural Education Services (Australia) for a year and are still continuing with AMES as an associate non-profit body.

We began to provide amenities and services to Multicultural refugees that were clients in AMES with education, employment and resettlement. We were provided an administrative building, a play group and a café to run for about 80-100 refugees and asylum seekers. A Manager was appointed, and she and her team catered for about $3.00 a meal, finger food and tea and coffee.

Things changed the following year when certain Visa holders of Asylum seekers had their income reduced to Nil by Centrelink for reasons known only to Centre Link. The Case managers at AMES approached us and the café changed into a food distribution centre -distributing fresh food, vegetables, fruits and dry goods like flour sugar, oil, toilet rolls, household cleaning products and great organizations like 2^nd Byte, Food bank, 360 Australia and doners help meet the needs to provide this great service. Each week 40-60 families are helped.

From 2017 -some of the other major services we have been able to provide are:

1. ARUSUWAI -recipe book with a launch to celebrate this great collection of Srilankan recipes by refugees and Asylum seekers.

2. 2 years of skills and promotion of hand work of bead making, knitting, fabric painting, sewing to Burmese women. An annual picnic, social and economic assistance like market stalls were organized.

3. A Pathways of Hope program was launched from interview preparation, dressing up for interviews, resume preparation, jobs and skills training placements to elevate the lives of the new immigrants with volunteer mentorship. In house community counselling and Inner healing was provided.

4. Annual Christmas parties for all new immigrants, volunteers, doners, networking supporters and AMES staff case workers were held with sumptuous food and gifts for all.

5. Fund racing events such as lunches at restaurants were organized.

6. A DGR (Deductible gift recipient) status was granted which attracts diners to give knowing there is a recognized tax rebate with the donation given. We are one of 125, thousand such recognized nonprofit bodies.

7. A constitution and a formal committee accountable to ACNC was formalized.

8. A Business Manager, Hub Manager and a team of dedicated beautiful volunteers are currently carrying the day-to-day function of this organization.

The greatest accomplishment was I would say Jesuran Welfare Services becoming a member of ACNC (Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission)

What we are currently aiming, and praying is that Jesuran Welfare services can bring quality and quantity into the food services which we are currently suppling with the donations and supply of the food suppliers. If we have the necessary funding and patronage, we could actually buy from the supermarket fresh, quality food both fresh and dry and other household goods which will make many tables in hundred s of families a relief and refuge for their household.

I wish to thank Mr Rabi Gunaratnam the Business Manager , Seelan Singham the Hub Manager , Ravini Vyravipillai the Hub Coordinator and all volunteers past and present( some of them have been with JWS for 6 years to current ) , doners, networking supporters and stake holders ..All these beautiful people with their aroma have helped Jesuran Welfare Service as beacon of light to hundreds and thousands.

The following month the first three refugees were brought into the Healing Ministry and 7 more at the end of the month. 25 more by December and 40 in January 2013 and so on – for Pastoral care, material aid, housing, resettlement, inner healing, trauma healing and much more to about 500 Srilankan /Indian refugees and asylum seekers. This was ministered till May 2015 freelancing with much needed material help from Churches and doners.

We were directed to move to the adjacent suburb -Dandenong to establish a refugee and asylum seeker centre down Herbert Street from Endeavour Hills. Where we believed 5000 Tamil refugees and asylum seekers were living either in alcohol or drug abuse and depressed. These new migrants had fled from Sri Lanka and India in boats for days and months in the hope they would find jobs, new life . Their hopes were dashed when the current government made it mandate that they have no jobs they could apply or for schools the children could go to. Practically no where to go or survive.

In faith a 4 roomed commercial building was leased out. A ram shackled weather board building was renovated with funding from donors and the bare hands of 10 asylum seekers completed the renovations. The construction of our very first refugee and asylum seeker centre -THE JESURAN WELLNESS CENTRE down Herbert Street Dandenong, was established . We opened the centre 5 days a week and healing on Saturdays. 10-12 dedicated volunteers came almost every day, and 20-25 refugees and asylum seekers found a sanctuary that welcomed them, loved them, and helped them in various ways.

The following amenities were offered:

1. Lunch for the refugees and asylum seekers /volunteers every day. A weekly box of dry ingredients and vegetables were picked up by the families that came to the centre.
2. Pool table/newspapers to read with coffee and tea and other recreational facilities.
3. English classes during the day and night.
4. A play group for children.
5. Centrelink, Dandenong police and protective measures, Immigration, Visa, legal advice forums were organized periodically to assist them to assimilate and integrate.
6. A Tamil Alcoholic Anonymous group was established and linked with the main AA association. An English AA session was run also every week.
7. A rehabilitation men’s group to educate them from domestic violence.
8. A catering service with a lunch with Srilankan savory and sweet dishes / grooming 6 Tamil women to become professional caterers and in house orders from the community was provided.
9. Inner healing and trauma healing.
10. Driving lessons
11. Fortnightly In-house medical services and a monthly after-hours doctor with medical supplies was also made available once a month.
12. Networking support and many more supportive amenities were given in support and rehabilitation.

James Marshall Jimi Hendrix was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music”.

Music doesn’t lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.

James Marshall Hendrix

Born in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army and trained as a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division; he was granted an honorable discharge the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to Clarksville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the chitlin’ circuit, earning a place in the Isley Brothers’ backing band and later with Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with Curtis Knight and the Squires before moving to England in late 1966 after being discovered by Linda Keith, who in turn interested bassist Chas Chandler of the Animals in becoming his first manager. Within months, Hendrix had earned three UK top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: “Hey Joe”, “Purple Haze”, and “The Wind Cries Mary”. He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album, Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US; it was Hendrix’s most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world’s highest-paid performer, he headlined the Woodstock Festival in 1969 and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 before his accidental death from barbiturate-related asphyxia on September 18, 1970, at the age of 27.

He favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in utilizing the previously undesirable sounds caused byguitar amplifier feedback. He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stonecommented: “Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began.”

Oscar Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet.
