 Sokka is helping to welcome new families arriving from Africa through the Perth African Nations Cup. Now, in its fourth year, the annual event brings people together regardless of race, background or religion, all for the love of the round-ball game. The sporting event helps to foster a sense of belonging and acceptance for local emerging African communities. The Perth African Nations Cup was an organically created into community tournament which was started by a number of people who had vested interests in their own communities and they wanted to use sport, specifically the World Game as a tool to enhance the relationships between communities and create friendship in Perth, which is where a lot of people were starting their new homes and new lives. It's really good fun. If you love football, it will be easy. I would really encourage football to play and for the communities to come and support their teams and be behind their teams. Football was part of our life because that's how we grew up doing it. There was nothing else. We came to Australia. The couple of years would be hard because we couldn't get into the system and that much. When you come to football, it doesn't matter what color, what race, it does have a language of its own but the good thing is everyone understands it. It's not complicated. Sokka is very important for the people to get to know people, easy to meet people and try to understand the culture and the system, everything. It helps a lot. I think Sokka in particular is one of the vital tools that we have been able to utilize. To make friends within the community and it's obviously something which is universal and it makes it easier for us to get to know other people within the community. I actually met so many friends that it would have been difficult for me to meet them without having access to playing Sokka. A lot of the boys who have participated in football have made successful questions into whether it's the employment fields and education or so on. It's simply because they saw other kids on the Sokka field who not only play football but also who have sorted out their other life and slowly integrate to the wider community and make sure that they are just as much contributing to this country as much as anybody else I guess.
