Berhan helps bridge gaps
Mr Jaber, who works with a group called Eritrean Community in Australia, said the feeling in the Flemington community was miles away from where it was when he arrived in 2000.
Events like the Eid Festival and forming the North Lions Soccer Club had done amazing great things to not just link the wider community to the African community in Flemington, but to build bridges between African residents from different nations.
"For Aussies maybe we are all the same in a way as we are all black, but events like this have really bridged gaps within our own community," Mr Jaber said.
"With the soccer club we found out a lot of disadvantaged kids from minority groups had no chance to do any recreation.
"In the team now we have more than seven nationalities represented."
